HER decision to go clubbing during the festive period without her husband’s permission has landed a Chipata housewife in court.
Elizabeth Nyirenda, 27, was sued for divorce in the Chipata local court by her husband Musa Mwanza, 30, of Nabvutika township
Mwanza, a security guard narrated before local Court magistrate Emmanuel Mumba that on Christmas Eve last year he left for work leaving Nyirenda at home to care for the family.
“The following morning, I came home only to be told by my neighbours that she went out drinking and partying after I left for work. I am a guard and I was on night shift on Christmas Eve,” he said.
Mwanza said after being tipped by his neighbours, he decided to ask his children who confirmed that Nyirenda had indeed gone out on Christmas Eve.
“My children confirmed that she locked them in the house around 19 hours and only returned home after midnight on Christmas Day in a drunkard state. My children told me that she was brought home that day by unknown people because she was too drunk to walk on her own,” she said.
The visibly annoyed Mwanza said he tried confronting Nyirenda who was still in bed at the time about her escapades.
“She told me that she had gone out to celebrate the birth of the Lord at East Point with her friends,” he said.
Mwanza said at that point he decided to inform his family members about the matter because since they got married in 1999 his wife never tested alcohol. A family meeting was later convened where Mwanza said Nyirenda admitted her mistake.
But unhappy with the family’s decision, Mwanza said he decided to sue for divorce.
Nyirenda admitted going out for clubbing and drinking but insisted that she went to celebrate the birth of the lord in style.
She begged the court not to dissolve her marriage because she has learnt her lesson.
The court reconciled the couple and advised Nyirenda to stop behaving like a prostitute as she wants to remain married.
She was also ordered to pay Mwanza K100 as compensation

K100 as compensation!!!!
For pain and suffering?
So the chaps got married at 10 and 13 years
Talk of early marriages!!! These guys have hardly 30 and they have been married for 17 years!!
LT TELL US THE REAL AGE. AM EQUALLY PUZZLED AT THE AGE THEY WERE MARRIED AT. THATS WHY THE LADY IS EVEN GOING BACK TO PLAY COZ SHE MISSED HER CHILDHOOD.
So, Mwanza will fork-out the K100 which Nyirenda will use to pay Mwanza – Kikikiki, Zambian courts!
Ba Zambia mwalipena (ha!ha!ha!ha!.) You guys are so full of humour, you make my day.
..some errors LT ignore to edit/orect distort the news a lot….ata ni typing error.2009 with 1999..??nooo…2008 may beexcusable……
….some of these compensations the courts come up with don’t make y sense at all…
She will go and do prostitution to make that k100 and pay mwanza. Mwanza will later use the same k100 on other prostitutes and the fun continues.
AND SHE WILL GET THE K100 MWANZA GIVES HER FOR RELISH TO COMPENSATE HIM LOL
These are children who were allowed to marry each other and now don’t even know how adults behave in a marriage … Cokako weka!
Hundred Kwacha! I bet he spends it on drinking with his mates. She is 27 for goodness sakes, she wanted to go out and celebrate. I think her excuse was poor perhaps she shouldn’t have said celebrating the Lord’s birthday (!) but maybe she ought to have said celebrating her Youth! She has the right to have a little bit of life, perhaps hubby ought to have called in sick! It’s a poor excuse for a divorce. I suspect he’s really having an affair on the side not working on that day!!
Is clubbing and drinking the same as behaving like a prostitute? Maybe she just likes to dance. She has shown remorse, but maybe if the husband would take her out dancing once in a while she wouldn’t feel the need to go clubbing without him. I’m sure there are respectable places to go dancing…
You Zambians have become corrupt always thinking in millions. K100 compensation of a husband by a wife is ok. A bunch of roses and some chocolate would cost the same. Traditionally, it would be the wife killing a chicken for her husband as admission of guilt “fine” and an apology at the same time. And as many have said, the husband is paying himself indirectly anyway. Keep it up local court jusctices!!!
There is fun in Zambia!here that never exist.well done
