Mrs Zimba collapsing

Naomi Mbewe, wife of Newstead Zimba collapsed shortly after the Lusaka Boma court granted the couple divorce.

Ms. Mbewe broke into tears and fell to the ground inside the court room shortly after the local Court Justice ruled that the family house located at Number 2 Nalikwanda Road, Woodlands will be owned by Mr. Zimba.

The court had earlier ruled that Ms. Mbewe will get the beauty training school she jointly owns with Mr. Zimba and a Nissan Xtrail, one of the two family vehicles.

The local Court Justice also allowed Mr. Zimba to keep custody of the couple’s youngest child while the two children aged 17 and 19 will choose whom they will stay with.

But a sobbing Ms. Mbewe interjected the Judgement arguing that it is unfair for Mr. Zimba to keep the family house while she gets the beauty training school which is now non-operational.

The court however advised Ms. Mbewe to appeal against the judgment if she is not satisfied.

Relatives, friends and well-wishers were on hand to help Ms. Mbewe to her feet and later drove her away.

She had dragged Mr Zimba to court demanding divorce citing his alleged promiscuous lifestyle.

Ms. Mbewe also alleged that Mr Zimba had the habit of beating her up in public, lacks respect for the matrimonial home, had numerous affairs with maids and was once diagnosed with an STI.

“He had a habit of sleeping around. I cannot continue living with this man. He suspected he had affairs with our maids. He also had an affair with an officer from the National Assembly including the Namibian Ambassador to Zambia at the time,” She told the court.

She added, “The defendant humiliates me in public by beating me up in the presence of my students at the school we used to run together. He has a short temper.”

Mr Zimba had filed in his submissions that he still regarded Ms Mbewe as his wife and hoped that the court could reconcile the couple.

“My marriage to the plaintiff is still valid. I pray that the court helps us to reconcile. All the allegations against me are total lies. I have loved her and loved her alone. During our 22 years of marriage, I treated her so well. I bought her five vehicles including a BMW,” Mr Zimba submitted.

The couple got married in 1993 and has three children.

Newstead Zimba served as cabinet Minister in the MMD administration under the late Dr. Chiluba and later served as Ambassador to Sweden in the Mwanawasa administration.

    • Told you , restrain from marrying zambian men

      Once they see a good catch, or you lead a British UK *** life of sleeping with them once a week which is recommended, they will divorce you

      If you refuse them, they divorce you. I am sorry to hear this, but come to Europe here men hardly cheat and they don’t force you, they respect the NO until you are ready

      Thanks

    • @ Mushota u are a lier, everywhere in the world, they good and bad people whether you agree with me or not. Let me say somthing about Europe where i was recently. I found good men of which i was impressed but i also met men who for better term i would say prostitutes. this man has 18 girl friends and non of them has an idea. there group is called the Big Lovers. this group consists of 32 men aged between 23 and 36. their aim is to simply to hook up ladies married or single, use them and dump them when apetit goes. Now Imagine 32 men with 4 girls each.
      everywhere u go, u will atleast find these things. In Zambia their serious men and cheaters just like any other continets.What am simply trying to says is that your judgement is misplaced and has no justification. I have never cheated on me

    • She found another woman in Mr Zimba’s life and grabbed the then MMD minister in 1993…and now Zimba goes for another younger woman…chances are that if you grab a man from another woman, he has to the potential to be grabbed by yet another woman-this is (and his kind) very unstable man…serious lesson to be learnt by our sisters out there concerning we men…

    • Naomi is full of drama!

      Get your own house mama. Dependency on men is a sickness that Zambian women need to be cured from.

      3

    • @Joe, either u’ve got your facts wrong or u’ve deliberately twisted them to suit your phobia and hatred for the tonga speaking people. Newstead Zimba is a Tumbuka from Eastern and has never been, will never be a Tonga. Shame on you tribalist!

    • Nubian Princess walasa…..some Zambian women are still in the stone age era of depending wholly on the man to take care of them.

      2

    • @Nubian Princess, I would like to spend my remaining part of my life with you.
      You sound so independent and that is what I want from a woman.

      2

    • @playboy
      Nubian is independent, but that would not absolve you from spoiling her with trinkets, surprise trips, presents etc Even when she can afford it herself.

      I’m old-fashioned that way. She in turn would make your (and any future offspring) comfort and happiness her primary responsibility – despite holding a CEO position in a Fortune 500 company.
      But I’m sure you know this.

    • I don’t pity this woman she got the dose of her medicine she drugged the man to court for divorce so ya she got it.
      Any way
      HH IS TO BLAME HE INCITED ZIMBA TO DIVORCE

  2. I know that Zimba is a Casanova but Naomi is also a gold digger.Naomi remember the pain you subjected Zimba’s ex-wife to.Talk about what goes around.Vyakulolavye !!!

    • The Husband wanted the court to reconcile the couple BUT the wife wanted the court to grant a Divorce & at the same time to get the FAMILY House as if Mr.Zimba was dead. This is a fair judgement.

    • @Jo, either u’ve got your facts wrong or u’ve deliberately twisted them to suit your phobia and hatred for the tonga speaking people. Newstead Zimba is a Tumbuka from Eastern and has never been, will never be a Tonga. Shame on you tribalist!

    • i pitty *****ies like jo,is he a foreigner or just dull? how can zimba and mbewe be Tongas ?or he mistook the for Zimba District from southern province.even so a district can’t divorce
      shame on you boyi, i hope you are not a chip of your father

  4. But you are the one who took the matter to court asking for a divorce.Divorce comes with consequences.The house you are crying over was obviously acquired by your foolish husband.Just keep the so called schooland work hard to acquire your own house as you should have done instead of grabbing other pipo’s husbands.

  6. Nothing one can say about this. Maybe the foundation of this marriage were wrong.

    On a different note, LT can you please check the use of pronouns “he”, “she”, “him”, “her”. These are not interchangeable. Be consistent with usage of pronouns to make reading your news pleasant to readers.

    Also make sure you use “has” and “have” in the right place. Example, ‘The couple got married in 1993 and has three children.’

  8. That was a brilliant move,women today are so craft am also just arising playing it cool.My wife got a title to our family plot in the name of my step daughter without me knowing each time I ask about it becomes a hot issue she never says the truth but I have this infor and how names were changed.I have 2 boys with her,she threatens me of divorce each time I bring plot issues just wait for her to drag me to court.

  10. Iyo ba Naomi chabipa, ukuponafyw kwati chilisaka chabunga nagu amataba. God doesnt like ugly, you broke a family apart, now you are going to rip what you sowed.

  11. I think she lost the battle when she 1) revealed the STI about him 2) refused to reconcile.

    The men thought of themselves being subjected to a public outing this way. The older women (particularly bana cimbusa and alangizi) were flabergasted. Nicely-married middle aged professional women despise her for her husband-stealing.
    The younger more modern women envied her golddigging skills as she had hit pay dirt.

    My sympathies to the kid who will no doubt be used as a pawn in the childish games played by these 2 f00ls.

    • There is no such thing as husband stealing or snatching. Why is a man always given a free pass? Zimba was not an unwilling participant in this. In fact he was the decider. How can the whole big person be stolen?

      1

    • @Sattish

      I know. I guess we expect the woman to be more nurturing and have concern for the wife and children, and so repel the lecher’s advances.

    • If you fail to contact her, let me know so that i can go and give her a comfort. I will start by giving her a house which she need most and then the rest be plain sailing.

    • I think court may reason with me,and this must be pa Zed were I hope the people still have some respect to tradition.Iam only waiting for her to drag me to court for a divorce.

    • Jo thought it was Haziimba… You know ma nickname naiwe, perhaps he changed to Zimba to get the Ministerial job kaili…

  17. Naomi, kikikkikikikikik, you were banking on the house you prostitute without shame. You destroyed Mrs zimba’s marriage ….now its pay time hope mr zimba infected you with HIV so that you are always reminded of your sins

  18. Why now. Is it because he is no long a minister? I expected that during the time Mr Zimba was a minister he used to move a lot on duty and would have been careless during that time. Now it doesnt reconcile to me that mr Zimba has just started to behave in that manar. If Mrs Zimba was tolarating this when this man was a minister and she cannot tolarate it now then there is some fish about Mrs Zimba.

    • Right. You took it for 22 years, have you just now discovered your husband’s errant ways?
      You were young enough to leave him 21 years ago and still had the potential to build a life and family for yourself. But the cars and being a ‘madam’ in Sweden was too big a prize to give up.

      I am normally supportive of women going through the courts and being given their fair dues in the divorce settlement. Did she even consider the effect of all this mud-slinging on the children? This is their father after all.

      Something about this one screams callous gold-digger. Plus I can’t abide people who insinuate themselves into established families and split them up.

  19. Sad state of an affair, when you decide to go for a divorce you must be ready with what comes out of these divorces legally or not……… again its very sad for the children who have to decide whom to stay with between their Mum n Dad.

  21. saves this prostitute right. she though she can golddig herself to the family house. zimba bought that house and it is his.

  22. It seems to me she is divorcing him because the man is unemployed. He does not make any money like he used to when he was a minister.
    Naomi still looks sexy…look at the lips, hips and boobs. I would’t mind inviting her for dinner. (I would use a condom just to be safe)

    • really John? She looks like a heiffer to me. Realize that she has the boobs harnessed by an industrial-strength bra, those hips almost hit the floor when the corset comes off. She’s not bad looking, but hardly someone you would pick out for her sexiness. Unless you are 65 or so

      1

    • I think she is her about 48 years old, divorce can be stressful sometimes, I wouldn’t mind comforting such a nice sexy lady. I like her hairstyle too

    • okey doke! Everyone has a type they say. (Except Newstead. every woman is his type apparently)

    • Kambwili has been starving since his wife lives in England, maybe he already got hey number.
      I am told she likes grabing men from other women…Kambwili’s testosterone levels are high..he is good candidate for her.

  23. Embarrassing, The so called Former Zambian Leaders. What Examples are you giving to the Young?? Let her get it she made Ba Zimba divorce the first wife for her.
    @ Mushota and @ Eshu?? You are very funny?? Bad Investment? Xtrail? yaba You wanted X5?

  24. Moral of the story is “what goes around comes around” Now she knows how the original wife felt like. Not a great feeling is it my love? Good luck to you in the future in finding a rich toyboy!!!!

  26. a law should be passed that if a woman divorces the man then she only gets what the husband gives her,stupid women marry for wealth and the husband does not die early enough,these foolish heart less fools(some women) wil even poison or send thugs after the husband

  27. I would sure like to taste a old divorced woman like Ms Zimba.
    Please, help me with her number?
    My friend told me, old ladies are sweetie and tight.

    • Really First Mrs. Zimba Died?? Ooh No,MHSRIP No wonder this happening to her. Though the Husband wanted them to reconcile, seems she wanted the house badly. The Man is finished saw him recently, I think it’s the same Problems with this Lady. Let her Build her own Zimba has Older children also from the 1st wife, what will happen if she gets the House??

  29. The problem was with Naomi.After she had used Mr Zimba , she wanted to dump him with a view of a new catch. When Mr Zimba was recalled from foreign service , she told him she could not come back with him to Zambia. Mr Zimba was at loss on how Naomi was now deserting him after having been the architect of his abandoning his older wife in the mid 1990s ( By the way this was on TV). In trying to keep the marriage which was falling because of a worsening financial situation of the Zimba’s , Mr Zimba has literally went to crawling to State House hoping to get another appointment to sustain him. Naomi being gold digger could not have any of broke Zimba and schemed ways of abandoning him. The judgement is fair. Mr Zimba acquired the house before the two married so she was not entitled to it.

    • But she brought this upon herself…Dont blame the people commenting…When she talked about her private issues to the media she didt know she had kids..

  31. Awisi Muzipasi (MHSRIP), how can people that where once so in love be so big enemies futi?! This love/marriage thing ungavileke mwe

  34. Imwe na imwe ba LT this is basic English grammar: Newstead Zimba’s wife collapses after losing family house in divorce case. This mixing of tenses like you have done in your headline I last saw it with Bernard Mutama my classmate, in Grade 3.

  35. KARMA , KARMA , KARMA , KARMA……WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. THIS IS A LESSION TO ALL YOU HUSBAND SNACHERS. ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU IN THE HABIT OF GRABBING MARRIED MEN. ONE THING YOU WOMEN DO NOT REALSE IS THAT WOMEN ARE PRAYER WARRIORS. MOST OF US MARRIED WOMEN ARE ON OUR FEET DAY AND NIGHT PRAYING OVER OUR HOMES, CHILDREN AND HUSBANDS.. THAT IS POWERFUL…WE ARE BINDING EVERYTHING IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AND ONE OF THE ENEMIES WE ARE BINDING ARE YOU HUSBAND SNACHERS AND GIRLFRIENDS…AND WHEN WE ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, ALL IS POSSIBLE..AM SURE OUR GOOD LORD HAS ANSWERED THE FIRST WIFE PRAYERS.. (MHSRIP) IT MAY TAKE FOREVER BUT OUR GOD IS NOT A SLEEPING GOD..MY FELLOW PRAYING WIVES JUST KNOW THAT DON’T CEASE PRAYING ” A DELAY DOES NOT MEAN DENIED…HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE.

  36. Ba mushota, you don’t know what your nick does , he is crook if you don’t know. Mark my word, you will be disappointed, and hang yourself.

  38. Shame on this capitalist woman. All she wanted is money. She never even contributed a cent to construction of the house. Where would u get your peace to hound the owner of the house for u to sleep u shameless animal. U should have died when u collapsed

  40. Forgive Mushota, she is a hooker and gold digger in UK. She is saddened that one of her constituents has fallen into her own trap. Mrs Zimba wanted a house, period. Now that the house has escaped her, she resorts to fainting and attacking cameramen. I can still marry her and leave her with a hut I own in Shang’ombo once we divorce after she finds me with a young and fresh girl in bed.
    Mrs Zimba is a husband snatcher. When MMD came into power of which Newstead became home affairs minister, this lady saw gold and destroyed Newstead’s marriage. This incident was even captured on ZNBC when the former wife of Newstead fought with this lady who has just secured a divorce from Newstead. This is what you pay for being a gold digger. Newstead was attractive to her as a minister and ambassador.

  41. Sata is behind this confussion. He told this young lady to marry Zimba and he told Zimba she was just after his money.

  42. for those of you who were old enough in the early 90s this woman grabbed Newstead from the former wife just after MMD got into power, there was drama at zimbas house then in roadspark it was even shown on ZNBC. so what goes round comes round.

  44. @jo kwena ulimbwa iwe. You are the problem that Zambia must overcome before development can unfold. You must have been conceived and born in very morally compromised circumstances…

  45. @ Jo, why hate Tongas that much? Its very sad, is it because you don’t like HH that you have extended your hatred to all Tongas?

  46. Why involve Tongas in Mr. Zimba’s case. Us tongas really take such issues to court, we have known to solve these issue without involving courts. We born hard workers with our women. Shame…on the ones that harte Tongas, no matter what you do you will not change things. HH………………Is rich and he has nothing to with Mr. Zimba’s case………….VIVA-HH. Let them hat

  49. gold gigger why didnt she collapse when divorcing the husband and only faints when the court gave the house to zimba so materialist.

  50. The judgment is clearly flawed and lacks legal reasoning against a plethora of well established law on property adjustment and settlement on divorce. An excellent case for appeal.

  51. All this is because of HH………where is this country heading. Cage HH before he destroys the morals of this country.

  52. Iwe ka zimba why do u cause problems to yo beautiful mama? Nway washuka she’s slightly older than me nga twakulanga efyo basunga mama but it’s never too late u still have room to improve although abatumbuka you like jumping from one woman to the other and you say it’s mwabo yo traditional demands.

  53. Hahahahaha, I don’t blame those who say Zimba is TONGA. Some people think Zimbas come from Zimba District of Southern Province, hence the insinuation that Mr Zimba is Tonga.

  54. A clear case of a Gold digger who lost the prize(House). This is scary…this world mwebantu. Only Jesus can satisfy man`s needs and he is the only conforter in this troubled world
    …

  55. IT teaches this woman a lesson. let her be reminded that she stole Newstead from another humble old woman, with whom Newstead had suffered for over 30 years. Upon becoming minister in 1991, Newstead divorced his wife of many years because she was not good enough to appear with him in public. he chose this bitch that had been pushing for marriage and committing adultery with Newstead. Now it is her turn to feel how humble mrs Zimba felt. Not pitty. No tear for her.

    ZCTU

    • Yes she was Bowas kawinas’ secretary at Chloride in Kitwe and one of Mr Zimbas’ sons was close friend of mine. The bitch really created hell in the Zimba household. She could even brag t the office. Silly thing

  56. People, people…..One thing we always forget is that ” YOU CAN NEVER BUILD HAPPINESS ON SOMEONE ELSE’S MISERY…..this is a clear example of this saying.. In this case look at the big picture both Mr Zimba and Naomi are both at lose. The first wife’s heart had been bleeding with pain after she was dumped by Mr Zimba caused by Naomi. Do you really think they have been happy at all.. Clearly NO… People who do such inhuman deeds to their fellow human beings trust me do not have peace with their conscious… They just continue to pretend that they are happy to the world…

    • @Mulenga Chanda you are so right. My mother died in a similar way because of the husband snatcher lady my father married forcing my mother out of our home. My fathers wife was so unhappy and became an alcoholic and it eventually killed her, or maybe the depression did. She and her family plotted in so many ways to get our family property and she thought he would die before her, but her fate came first! Ladies stop grabbing peoples husband and ruin the lives of their children. Make your own money and get a single man please!

  57. Pls hang this bitch to the nearest tree. She’s such an *****.She wanted to rip wher she didt not sow by grabbing the targeted house. Let’s learn to work hard for every piece we want to have unlike killing ur husbands or going to court to acquire property in an easy way

  58. I luv Zimba’s ex-wife.I sooth her to proper so much she can forget the house.Go and stay in the school class room naiwe.Shipikisha.I know Zimba can go back and screw her as girl friend now.

  60. Good judgment by the courts. unfortunately Lusaka nowadays is full of such gold diggers, always looking for an opportunity to divorce husbands so that they ran away with property. they should learn to work for property and not ripping off men. A good precedence has been set.

  61. how long did she faint for her to awake and confront the cameramen who wanted to picture her. so much drama!! work for your own assets.

  62. Good for her, Seed time and Harvest time. This is Harvest time for Naomi. Mr Zimba’s kids from earlier marriage were abandoned becouse of her. Lives were destroyed and it wont be that easy for her. Hope Mr Zimba will seek forgiveness for his past deeds to his first wife.

    • People people….in all this where you putting Mr Zimba?…for you own information, the former wife before Naomi was not the first wife..apparently bana Muzipasi also grabbed from Bana Teddy….bana Muzipasi was the second wife. Mr Zimba is also a problem…..those are his habits…..he was the decision maker in marrying bana Muzipasi leaving his first wife……and again on marrying Naomi…..so pleas be fair!

  63. kana zimba uli kapuba!!! 22yrs elo ulelanda pali sti. U hv got ur share of vengence… Its good we cqn see the punishment for what you did… Look for another new deal…
