An enraged man shocked congregants recently when he stormed a church and beat up his wife and her pastor in Lusaka.
This was revealed in a Lusaka court by Dorothy Mulenga, 26, who said the incident happened in mid-service just as she and other church members were praying.
Her jealousy husband stormed the church and started beating her up.
When her pastor attempted to stop him, her husband, who is a security guard, turned the heat on the man of God, beating him up as well.
Mulenga told magistrate Lazarus Mwape that this was not the first time that her husband, Samson Ngulube, behaved in such a manner because he often used to beat her up.
But on that fateful day, Mulenga said Ngulube, 31, went just too far although he had earlier warned her that he did not like her going to church for prayers.
“He once came into our church and beat me up inside the church in full view of the elders and when my pastor tried to intervene, he insulted and beat him up as well. That is how violent my husband is,” she said.
Mulenga said on another occasion, Ngulube broke their door and started hitting her with an iron rod, commonly placed across doors in houses as a security measure.
She said it had to take their neighbours to grab the iron rod from him and stop Ngulube from beating his wife.
But Ngulube, who resids in Misisi Township, said he was jealousy of his wife because he did not want their marriage to end.
Ngulube said he once thought of killing his wife and later kill himself when he found her in a sexual act with another man.
He claimed before magistrate Mwape that he found his wife with another man in their house after he unsuspectingly went home from work during
the night.
Ngulube said he forgave his wife after she pleaded for forgiveness but that her behaviour did not change afterwards.
“I found her red-handed having sex with another man. The man ran away and my wife started crying asking for forgiveness. I was hurt and I thought of killing her and later kill myself.
This is all because I love her and I don’t want our child to suffer,” Ngulube said.
He said another evening, he left work because he was not feeling well and when he reached home, he found two sachets of Tujilijili on the table.
When he asked his wife about them, he was told that they were hers but this still raised suspicion because he knew that his wife did not take that type of alcohol.
Ngulube said the same evening around 21:00 hours, an unknown man knocked at their door and his wife rushed to there, which again aroused his suspicion.
This forced him to also rush to the door where he found a man who, upon seeing Ngulube ran away. Ngulube said he shouted for help from the neighbours who pounced on the strange man and beat him up.
Ngulube then turned on his wife and beat her up but she retaliated by pouring boiling water on his private parts. This was so painful that he thought of taking his own life.
Magistrate Mwape said the couple’s marriage was marred with mistrust and violence, and without intervention there companionship would result in loss of life.
“This marriage is marred by lies and violence and if the court does not intervene, death may occur,” he said.
Magistrate Mwape dissolved the marriage and told Ngulube to pay his wife K3 million and K350,000 child maintenance monthly.
Ends…/
With todays Pastors who would not be suspicious
kci, very dirty minded.
These things are happening because people dont have more money in their pockets after god knows how many days of Ukwa’s rule of with immediate effect.
We mulumendo we, ishina ububi!!
You jerk, leave Bishop Mpundu alone. you are such a useless fella
Wechinangwa wei
Lets be respectful. Bupuba ubu.
awe ichichena chinangwa! cant you see here that its the wife who has been cheating on the hubby whenever he goes for work in the night? learn to have manners and respect this is nothing to do with government, weshilu weeeee!!!!!
Thus what happens when you marry ama hule
This is very possible!
It seems that nowadays women are seriously protected by the law that’s why they can do whatever they want because they know that at the end of the marriage they will get a share even if they did not work for it. Anyway I feel sorry for the institution of marriage and the child, may God help.
Good judgement. Let the poor also find women who can love them
It would appear the woman loves yapambali mwe
Ndelolesha fye!
SAMSON MAKA YA MU CHUUSNSU !!!
k350,000.00! HOW MUCH IS MR NGULUBE’S SALARY/WAGE TO AFFORD THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY PER MONTH? ZAMBIA IS LOSING IT THE COUNTRY WILL SEE MORE SERIOUS CRIMES COMMITTED IF THIS IMPOSITION OF CHILD SUPPORT MONEY IS ASTRONOMICAL. DON’T GET ME WRONG. I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR FATHER WHO PRODUCE BUT FORGET THEIR OFFSPRINGS WELFARE. BUT THE COURTS MUST BE REASONABLE IN THEIR RULINGS CONSIDERING ALL OUR AFRICAN TRADITIONAL VALUES SUCH AS EXTENDED FAMILIES.
k350,000= is to much for the lowly paid person and i too support for the action of the court to dissolve the marriage,there is too much mistrust and violence in this marriage
#9 k350,000 per month is even low. Anyone with a dick that prodices sperms should be able to manage that.
Muchaya man of God futi? Eish
My opinion too.Time the the law was revised.Why should it be always that a man should pay even if it is the wife at fault or if she is the one that wants to end the marriage ? This is just too Gender unbalanced.
Poor judgement.. this lawyer MUST be retrained. Half barked lawyers.. In this case it is the woman who is guilt .. He has a solidy defence.. Why turning to the husband???
Wrong outcome, home did delilal win this case. The man needs custody of th child.
he was not from withut
yes my friends k350 is big man mr ngulube bcoz ngulube is jst aguard and salary of k500 000 how can he pay 3000 000 for wife and child suport 350 000,mulekwatako uluse.umukashi liule.
mu zed kaya ngati kuza nkala ku kwatila
Ma Pastor ati fire! fire! fire! kansi muchaya susubeli mukazi wabene baba!
But why pay an adulterous woman. I don’t understand Law.
K350, 000 is actually the net pay of security guards.
let no one separate!
ilyashi lya mukomboni !
MUVI TV!
#1. Get your reading glasses on. This article does not insinuate in any way that there was an affair between the pastor and this woman article. Got it?
Law is tricky.
Avoid being a guard my friends.
Touch not the anointed of God.Did fire consume him?
This is the problem of gender ,to me gender fairness but nowadays gender appears to be there to disadvatange a man.See the woman was first caught red handed with a man and that the was evidence enough to kick her the marriage.By now we dont konw the HIV status of Mr Ngulube may be he has been infected because the woman had multiple man friends and in most cases these guys use unprotected sex.The 3500000 could have been money to be used to feed him and his kids .This woman was supposed to pay Mr Ngulube instead.Laws to be very fair to a man as well rape case for men but it indesent assault for a woman.God help us poor men
Unfortunately when one iz found wanting by the law, there iz no consideration whatsoever, az to the earningz of the accuzed when passing judgement. Unlike one Zambian Writer’s story book I read some 30 yearz ago, ” Let The Fools Marry”, foolz, cowrdz, over jealous people and the like should be allowed to marry.
This man needs to know how the love of God more than anything else. If the woman was in church asking God to fogive her sins, the man needs to go and repent as well because he will have to give an account for his own actions on judgement day.
She will either be forgiven and seated in heaven or burning in hell fire becuase of unrepentance. So he needs to sort him self ou because he is living off of this marriage like its a life line and yet God alone is his source. Its not all over for you my brother, others have made it through what you are dealing with. You need God for your self. let the marriage die, if it has to and if the Lord brings it back to you Praise the Lord, if He does nt bring it back to you, to God be the Glory. We have a race to run my dear brother, people are pershing.
Easterner again!
