A HUSBAND of Kitwe has accused his wife of ten years of being a drunkard whose love for alcoholic beverages has resulted in her squandering their children’s school fees.
Modester Chanda begged the Garneton Local Court to dissolve his marriage to Fridah Chanda because she is more interested in spending money meant for their children’s education and household necessities on her drinking sprees.
Modester also told senior local court magistrate Fredrick Ndhlovu that his wife also threatens to poison him.
He complained that he can no longer tolerate Fridah whom he married in 2006 because of her irresponsible behaviour. The couple has two children. Bride price was paid.
“Problems in our marriage started in 2012 when Fridah started getting home late drunk. She stopped caring for our two children because of her love for alcohol. Now, my children are out of school because she has not being paying their school fees despite the fact that I give her money,” he said.
Modester claimed that Fridah refuses to change her behaviour because drinking alcohol is part of her.
“Both families have been informed about her behaviour but she seems unrepentant, in fact, she has become worse,” he said.
But Fridah blamed her husband for being the cause of all their marital problems.
“His decision to have an affair with our landlord’s daughter is what caused problems in our marriage. He even chased me from our matrimonial home but my parents took me back because I am pregnant,” she said.
The court adjourned the matter for judgment to a later date.

In Zambia mostly rumours become true in the long run. Perhaps the government ought to make a comment. People had before lost money like in MERIDIAN bank
What ever meridian bank has to do with this.
To the article: I think this wife was snatched from a bar – she was one of those ladies of the night who can drink more that their fathers and cook worse than their mothers! It’s utter fo0lishness to think that once you marry one of her kind she will change in marriage. Open you eyes & make correct choices this 11th August 2016!

Drinking wife … this is a BIG problem in Zambia. Mostly women who drink are promiscous and bring diseases in the home. Keep her because she is the mother of your children but ignore her as your wife. Run the home yourself. Do the budgeting and spend as per budget. Give her pocket money that is all, if she spends it on beer you wont feel the pinch.
“Since Zambia is a so called Christian Nation, it was gods plan for Zambian women to “drink & cheat” Initiation Ceremonies just encourages them to love more than one d i c k because of the genital modifications done using “Maleepe Donsaling Technic” or Labia stretching
…there are 95% chances that a monster wife is by her husband himself and vise versa…..at times when couple is dating in their teens, a man forces his girlfriend then to take ‘just’ a sip of alcohol and eventually latter in their marriage with the combination of marital problems that escalates into a drunkard…..
..is cause by…
The issue here is the husband. He cheated then she started drinking. He has plan B all the time. We don’t know if he is still with the landlord’s daughter.
