Mansa woman disrupts wedding in Chelstone

Share

A woman from Mansa suddenly disrupted a wedding ceremony in Lusaka’s Chelstone township after she appeared in the crowded church and claimed that the bridegroom had fathered her child.

This happened during a recent Sunday church service, the proceedings could not go ahead because a holy matrimony can not take place when another person objects.

Some church members said the lady unknown to the congregants and bride’s families, travelled from Mansa upon hearing that her child’s father was about to marry another woman.

The sources said that the Mansa woman heard of the marriage and phoned the church to confirm about the intended marriage proceedings.

“The woman was informed that the man was going to marry another woman on Sunday, so she phoned the parish and got the confirmation, she travelled to Lusaka and arrived just in the middle of the proceedings and stood up in the church and objected that the man should not marry because he has a child with her. This shocked the church, I tell you and everyone just went quiet,” the sources said.

The unfolding drama astounded the congregants at the church and shocked families of both the bride and the groom.

The marriage proceedings had to be put to hold to resolve the issue that had arisen after the appearance of the other woman.

“Up to now that wedding hasn’t been brought back to church and I think the whole affair has ended because the families were bitter with what had transpired more so that the bridegroom had kept the other woman a secret and the church doesn’t allow this,” the sources added.

But when contacted Chelstone Parish Priest, Lastone Lupupa denied the reports saying he was not aware of such happenings in the church. “I am not aware of that, there were other incidences were families had differences but not what you are talking about,” Father Lupupa said.

However the church members confirmed that, the incidence happened at the church much to dismay of the congregants.

  1. report properly, “woman in mansa disrupts wedding in Lsk………” Hw possible, double check plse

  2. If the story is indeed correct and the Parish Priest says no or is tryng to cover, then he is lying not only people but to God too, as God, call a spade spade. Hope the story is not true

  3. okay ba LT,we all make mistakes but publishing news without editing or check spelling.awe!!! “pride and groom”..nkalankoni serious mweh

  4. Is Chelstone  in Mansa? or is  it the Lusaka Chelston?  if so how does a woman in Mansa drop onto a Lusaka wedding? The marriage proceedings had to be put to hold? Si on hold ai? The pride and the groom?  Ba Lus Times advertise for a  copy editor please

    • #11 what is strange is that the man never told the wife to be at kale ayamba ukutomba elyo kabili alikwata naumwana

  5. pipo pliz, u mean u can’t even understand simply story…the woman is from mansa, but the wedding was in lsk chelston

    • It’s not that people don’t understand,it’s that there need to be a standard or quality to the grammar published here.Just because you can get what somebody is trying to say does not excuse poor grammar and sentence construction.

  6. LT, I you knuckleheads are just becoming way too lazy in your reporting. Can someone please explain this: “A woman in Mansa suddenly disrupted a wedding ceremony in Lusaka’s Chelstone township after she appeared in the crowded church and claim that the bridesgroom had fathered her child”.
    This whole story just doesn’t seem to have any merit at all.
    Do us all a favor:- do your damn research before you just post sh!+ on your site.

    Very pissed off. Umupondo.

  7. “……. Because holy matrimony could not take place when another person objects”. Is it could or can not take place when another person objects? Ba LT look for an editor.

  8. Poorly written. A woman in Mansa appeared in Chelstone, Lsk? Ni Nigerian magic or what? LT reporters are not serious. You are slowly becoming like tumfweko. The story is not authentic, it’s a rumour. Ubupuba pa Zed.

  9. Indeed. How did the “bride keep the other woman a secret..”? Whom did she want to fool? Did the two women connive to embarass the man and themselves? Ubukopo pa Zed.

  10. What kind of Journalists do we have in Zambia who do not know how write proper English? How can someone calling himself a Journalist say the following “a woman in Mansa suddenly disrupted a wedding ceremony in Lusaka’s Chelstone township after she appeared in the crowded church and claim that the bridesgroom had fathered her child.” This statement could have been a woman of Mansa and not a woma in Mansa because the incident seem to have happened here in Lusaka and not in Mansa. Please don’t the so called Journalists do not embarrass yourselves . This is the same with the Zambian Watch Dog they are also highly questionable with their grammar.

  11. People marry/wed with more than 3 ladies mothering their children. The man is very weak and needs to up his game soon as possible to avoid more embarrassment

  12. Its not right to marry another woman when you have fathered another child or children elsewhere. You need to think about those children and who will keep them, how they will grow up without a father and the psychological effects and other social effects on the children. So don’t think its such a simple think. We are talking about human beings here. God will judge you who father children anyhow and think you can just move on. be human

  13. Very good for this foolish man. Why keep a child a secret?? Saves him right and all you who can’t keep your little dicks in you pants should learn a lesson.

  14. The Mansa woman did the right thing because perhaps that man had even promised her marriage, now because ‘ba lwinso lwinso’ he goes off to marry another woman after he had gotten what he wanted- sex, so he must explain. He cannot have it that easy. Let him suffer a little, frustrate him

  15. LT be serious with your reporting. However, the story simply means the guy had still ties with the other lady and Biblical its not correct to marry in the church unless the groom had nothing to do with the other woman.

  16. You know its amazing how some men think that children are trees which can just be left to grow on their own until they mature. All children need the input of a father into their lives. So the ‘pride’ cannot just simply move on like that. Mansa woman punish him more

  17. “Up to now that wedding hasn’t been brought back to church and I think the whole affair has ended because the families were bitter with what had transpired more so that the pride had kept the other woman a secret and the church doesn’t allow this,” the sources added.

    Ba LT, ati the pride had kept the other woman a secret………. it should read bride. chizungu

  18. Is it the bride or the bridegroom who had kept details of the Mansa woman secret? Stop watching these useless Nigerian movies – you end up writing worse things!

  19. It iz only man/woman enough for anyone contemplating marriage and doing a wedding to “come clean” with their partnerz. You can run, but you cant hide. Timely axion by the Mansa woman, though not the best way to go about it.

  20. You should researched further on this issue since having fathered a child somewhere else and one decides to marry another woman does not make the marriage invalid according to the catholicism. If the man or the woman in this fake had contract marriage marriage according to the catholic law, the case could be different. Please research before you publish misleading stories such this involving the faith. There is no connection of the story with what was going on and the doctrinal teaching of the church.

  21. False story and I agree with 35: the fact if the man had only a child with the Mansa woman and if the two had no plans to marry, then the man can marry a woman of her choice. The story needs to be elaborated and clarified further. I still understand that the man could have revealed to priest during registration interviews that he has a child being kept by the mother. Having a child is not an impediment at all to anyone wishing to contract marriage in this regard either under the Church or state law. Not even on customary or biblical principle this story can qualify in its state. It is a misleading story.

  22. I have just seen this article and can not see where it is written ‘woman in mansa’ but can read …’woman from mansa….’. Dioes it mean it has been revised?

  23. The whole story is Totally Fake, as can be evidencend from inconsistances from spellings.. to chelstone or mansa or vice verse. To start with Catholics nomally do not conduct Marriage Ceremonoies on Sundays, usually these are done on Saturdays. ( Sunday is the Lords Day when we come together for Worship! ) Secondly, having a child is not an impidement to marry in church. Thirdly, the procedure is such that, a couple intending to marry in church, annoucements will be made for three consecative weeks and issues of “impidements” will be sorted out at this stage, no ‘disaruptions’ will be entertained on the wedding day. finaly please not do bring “the servant of God” Fr. Laston Lupupa, SJ into your unreseached shameful publications. rememder ” Touch not my anointed ones” Stay Blest!

  24. i agree with 38, 36, 35 and a host others. for your information an a member on the church no such nonsense ever happened. LT stop day dreaming and retract this misleading article.

  25. @ 38 Truth Seeker wa lasa! LT lets be factual, that is why the state want to start regulating you as well. stop abusing your freedom of communication, be resiponsible at all times am afriad if Govt limits your operations this wil limit Choice, something which is regreatable to all of us. LT be a positive partner of development.

  26. Father Lupupa, simply state that you have no comment on the matter, rather than tell lies that you have no idea of this taking place.

  27. # 43
    tembo
    I think he (Father Lupupa) want to protect the church image by cover up thinking that the writer may not have full details of the incidence. Bravo Mansa lady, she is couragous and shamed the CHEATER . Whom can he invite again with that incidence.. aaha He will end up being mocked.

  28. @ Albert Mando dnt expose yo dullness in public i have nt seen were it says woman in mansa disrupts wedding in lusaka its in black and whtie and reads “Mansa Woman Disrupts Wedding in chelstone”from that statement weres lusaka? thats y u flop grade 7 and later blame de examiner coz of being tiny minded use those eyes to see properly if u cnt see by glasses dnt b quick to attack innocent writers who are feeding u wit information yo small brain so desires to eat.

  29. @Jujuputya, yes the article has been edited after people condemned the poor writing skills. It was badly written.

  30. SO THIS WEDDING NONSENSE IS NOT IN GHANA ALONE. ANYWAY, WOMEN OF TODAY NEVER LOVE TRUTH UNLESS U LIE TO THEM, THEN WHEN THEY FACE THE LATTER CONSEQUENCES, THEY BEGIN TO REASON. NO MATTER THE DISTANCE FROM MANSA TO LUSAKA, IT WAS POSSIBLE SHE BEGAN HER “MISSIONARY” JOURNEY VERY EARLY. WHY SHOULD THE PASTOR ALSO LIE? ANYWAY, IT REMINDS ME OF OUR FORMER SECRETARY’S WEDDING 2 YEARS AGO WHEN THE WHOLE OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH WAS BROUGHT TO A HALT NEARLY RESULTING IN BLOWS. THE BRIDE SNATCHED SOMEONE’S HUSBAND AND INFLUENCED HIM WITH MONEY. THE MAN’S WIFE AND 2 KIDS CAME IN FROM NOWHERE BLOCKING THE BRIDE’S “TRIUMPHANT” ENTRANCE AT THE GATE. THE “MACHOMEN” WERE ALSO READY FOR FIGHT. IT WAS ALL OVER THE RADIO STATIONS. GOD HAVE MERCY!

  31. Let’s learn to be honest, the story sounds true. If it happened in this church the best is to admit, it’s not the fault of the church or the priest.
