Zambia’s songbird Angela Nyirenda, yesterday wept at the Kitwe local court after her eight-year-old son was allegedly abducted by her former lover, Masautso Banda, who is the father of the boy.
Angela and Banda appeared in the Kitwe local court yesterday over the custody of the child.
Banda, a Kitwe businessperson, took his son by force from unsuspecting Nyirenda after Kitwe local court senior presiding justice, Rodney Kasoka, dismissed the case, saying the matter be heard in Lusaka where the defendant (Angela) was residing.
Banda had taken Angela to court after she failed to release the boy, who had gone to visit her for holidays in Lusaka.
However, justice Kasoka, who was sitting with justices Ignatius Masupelo and Alice Obe, said in dismissing the case that the court could not handle the matter because it had no jurisdiction over it.
He said the court had considered the case carefully and resolved that since the mother and child in question were Lusaka residents, the matter be heard in Lusaka.
In his testimony, Banda told the court that he was in fact keeping the child in Kitwe and that the boy had merely travelled to Lusaka to see his mother who he alleged failed to release him.
Mr Kasoka advised the two to appeal within 30 days if they were not pleased with the outcome of the case or sue afresh in Lusaka.
But shortly after coming out of court, Banda got the boy amid
protestations from the child and drove off in his Honda CVR registration number ACK 7406.
The boy, who was crying, tried to jump out of the vehicle through the window.
Banda stopped the car, closed the windows while a shocked and sobbing Nyirenda rushed to the court justices to report the incident.
And Nyirenda’s uncle, Stanley Mushange, said the family had allowed Banda to keep his son on condition that he visited the mother during holidays.
Mr Mushange alleged Banda, who took the child a year ago, had never taken him to see his mother in Lusaka.
He disclosed that Nyirenda’s family had gone to the victim support unit so that they could resolve the matter amicably but Banda refused and instead took the matter to court.

Mr. Banda, please give the child back to the mother! he will come to you when he is big and able to decide for himself. No need to make the child suffer!
Ba Angela first hasband is the only one regarded in the eyes of God
That was unbecoming behaviour from the father.Your child will grow to hate you for forcibly removing him from his mother.The poor kid even tried to jump out the window! Let the kid stay with his mum and visit father on holidays.kids need their mothers most especially when they are young.Angela and Banda don’t fight each other by using the poor kid.
#2 point of correction Angela was never married to this man. This man lied to her that he was single and yet he has two wives living with him. This guy is a ruffian…he plants children all over Zambia and then wants to be keeping them.
BK – do you think this is the kind of behaviour that is becoming of a husband or a father? What damage is being done to the child and why did he not stick to the agreement that he and his former partner entered into? Does not sound to me like the boy wanted to go with his father as he was trying to jump outside the window. Also, dont judge Angela, you were not in the house so you dont know the reasons why their relationship broke down.
When Elephants fights it is the grass that suffers. Leave the innocent child alone. I we Banda watusebanya. Our Bemba says umwana taluba wishi. Leave the boy alone don’t subject him to misery. The boy will know you when he grows. Let the boy enjoy the motherly love from her Mother.
Is it true that this same Angela has another child out of wedlock? Is Moses Sakala still crushing her or has gone back to his wife of is a nurse? Update me on this matter. Ideally Angela should be given the custodian of the child. You know most step mothers are devish.
#7 Moses Sakala has gone back to his wife and Angela has her second child with him.
#6 This guy is an iliterate that is why he behaved the way he did, never been to school, cant speak english etc. but has money.
I hope this is not ex DK Masautso Banda!!!! The guy was bad, he used to be a prefect and he thought he will be like that forever!!!!!
Ba Banda mulesebanya abaume please, give back the child to the mother, when he grows up he will definatly come looking for you. Ba Agela naimwe please settle down, is it true that the Sakala guy left her with a child and he is gone back to his wife, if it is true ninshi iliko bad. We love your songs, please trying to live as perfectly as your songs, we dont want to hear another fight this time with the Sakala guy, twapapa sana
Angela’s choice of lovers is pathetic, look at moses sakala whom she grabbed from his wife, is she educated herself? she is a preety woman who could gotten better in terms of husbands, she needs to boost her self esteem.
Iwe Angela, go back to school re event your life, ditch that nyau dancing clown. find yourself a gentleman,no offence believe ib better youa are a wonderful woman, we love you.
take care of your kids
In short, Angela, Masautso and the Sakala(kabolala) boy maule! The ought to change their behaviour or risk contracting the Big One (AIDS)
what goes around comes around! do unto others what others would do unto you. what a sad story………….
Barbaric manners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angela is a bit’ch. Sakala brother is screwing her, a moslem is also doing the same….u dont leave kids ih the hands of bit’ches.
I feel sorry for the pretty Angela. Even us guys we want just to F**k ladies and not live up to the standard. Matsautso has sebenyad us.
#16. Keyser. are you saying the child is better off in the hands of casanova????
The child under 10 yrs old is best to be with the mum, but Angela by the way she is changing men, she is not a role model, the child is traumatised. As for masautso stop using your son to get at Angela. i bet you do not even love your son that much, how can you subject him to such trauma.?Its clear Angela is a troubled youn glady, please step back and put your kids first, not men. remember when moses wife went to court over you, it was painful for her as well. Do to others as yourself. the woman was divorced for no reason.
But in all these that is being said is it not a court contempt on Banda because the court said Angela should stay with the child but while out side the man grabbed the child and sped off in a vehicle? What is the court going to do to him?
oh too bad Angela,this man is so stupid whats the point of running away with the boy,thecourt should surely do something coz we dont know what that man is up to!there no LOVE like a MOTHERs love.
u pipo leave masautso banda alone,no matter wht u are going to say he is the biological father of the child,nd haz a right to hve his child at the age of 6 years and above,VIVA JERABHO na tuisungile abana besu,let thoz husband snutchers continue doing thr work,ba kuchita mushe angela
malibu yakuilombela Angela..I told keep your legs closed or crossed..SIMPLE!!!
#22, Are you sure he is the biological father???? With Angela’s CV would you trust such a woman?
one JERABHO masautso banda, uli mu kali boi.
# 24 ,yes for him and her to the court am sure she knowz he is the real father of the child,coz am told angela ‘s cv got vry powerfull wen she started bng famous in her music,she met masautso wen she jst came from the village in eastern province,kwa nyampande village.
Personally I dont about Angela’s so called CV. It is none of my business who she chooses to be with as an adult. My main worry is for the welfare of the child. The two adults involved should behave like adults for the offspring that they brought into this world. Abducting a small child is not the way to do things.
Sorry 4 Angela. Its a high time she made her life worth admiring. Boys will always take children from uuuuu. Beni serious. And Ba Banda, are u the brother 2 our stubborn ULUPIYA BANDA. Children below 15 years are 4 mothers. Us fathers ours are 16 and above. Ba Banda, plishi, just support that child. Are uuuuu going 2 have time 4 boy with ur MOSI / CASTLE in head. Take that boy back kuli banyina
Congratulation Mr Banda,You have the right to get your son more especialy if you have the capacity to do so.My heart advice to our singer,respect the father of your son and make him the overall boss of your son.the problem i am seeing is that Angelar doesn’t what to give due respect to father of her child.The father also is trying to using his natural power from above .The farther realy wants to look after his son.So please let him do so.To me age is not an issue what matters is looking after the child.The father hers time for the child in my opinion and not the mother who spents too much of her time on stages singing and being admired by other men.
Yaba!! It´s Angela again? Any way she is suppose to keep the kid and the kid is suppose to be kept by whom he prefers. Namwe mwabanthu osa musiliza muzanu Angela. Tonse timalakhwa. Well she is beautiful but without brains that’s why the CV is scrambled. ABanda namwenso muzamukwanisa mwana na misozi ya falao imene mukumwa? Nanga Sakala Brothers mulikuti aposimuthandiza Mbeta baipoka mwana? So this boy neither have Moses as step father nor any permanent step father but Angela kept on Changing fathers for him? AMai we!! Meloza. Angela mange mubindileko muchila namwe ates? You are so different from the songs you sing. In fact you gossip your own life in music. Nibangati mamuna bazakutambila kansi Angee?
# 9 Municipality You have reminded me of those bad days!! Prefect in Luangwa then sports captain, i think. If its him, then Angela needs to invest in Pain Killers as the guy has never been ashamed of himself. Goodluck to Angela.
# 31 DAKASETS, Yeah the guy used to punish me like hell!!! Sweep mop and shine the grade 11 wing!!! Damn!!! You can’t even talk about the Shanks!!!
