A SENIOR pastor of Kings Chapel Church has been dragged to court for committing adultery with a married woman of his church.
Pastor Nicholas Chungu, 38, a widower of Chawama, was taken to court by James Lundu, 34, of the same township for having an affair with his wife, Mary Mwenda, 26.
Lundu told senior court magistrates Martha Tembo and Kalunga Chansa that he discovered their pastor, Chungu, was committing adultery with his wife after he found love text messages in his wife’s phone from the ‘man of God’.
But Pastor Chungu told the court that the messages found on Mwenda’s phone were intended for another lover he named as “Gloria” but were accidentally sent to Lundu’s wife by his son, who was playing with his mobile phone. No explanation was given as to how he got Mary’s number.
Lundu, who presented his wife’s phone to the court to read out the text messages, said it was difficult to believe that the messages were sent by mistake, especially that they were sent on several different occasions.
In one of the text messages, Pastor Chungu wrote: “I will give you the best love of your dreams. Maybe you think I am pretending, no, I am not married. I am now single, I am so into you. God should protect you until I marry you. I will love you until you cry but I will satisfy you in everything. You have made me mad emotionally sweetie; I love you, good day.”
Another text message sent around 22:00 hours read in part: “Sorry, I went to bath because I have a sharp headache. I am feeling sick. I will love you, I love you.”
In his statement, Pastor Chungu denied ever being in a love relationship with Lundu’s wife.
[pullquote]“We started having sex in August 2012. The first time we did it around 20:00 hours in Chinika area in an open ground. The second time we had sex was in my home when my husband was away.
After that, we then started going to Blue Water Motel in Chawama every Monday. We were using room number seven,” Mary said.[/pullquote]
“Lundu’s wife is in fact the one who started spreading rumours immediately after we buried my wife that I had proposed marriage to her when in fact not. How can I propose marriage to a married woman?” Pastor Chungu asked.
He said before his wife died, Lundu’s wife pretended to be a caring person who spent most of her time by his late wife’s bedside when she was sick.
“I sometimes had to ask her to leave because I knew she also had a family to take care of instead of spending all her time with my sick wife. During her visitations, she would come dressed inappropriately, sometimes wearing mini-dresses or skirts, a situation that caused my wife to eventually confront her,” the clergyman said.
He said Lundu’s wife even started asking his son how he would feel if his father married her and insisted on knowing which other females visited him.
But when asked by the court how messages meant for his lover were always accidentally sent to Lundu’s wife, Pastor Chungu failed to give any convincing explanation except blaming it on his Blackberry phone.
However, Lundu’s wife, Mary, told the court that Pastor Chungu proposed marriage to her in December 2011 and further promised to marry her.
“We started having sex in August 2012. The first time we did it around 20:00 hours in Chinika area in an open ground. The second time we had sex was in my home when my husband was away.
After that, we then started going to Blue Water Motel in Chawama every Monday. We were using room number seven,” Mary said.
She said her relationship with Pastor Chungu ended when her husband, Lundu, found out.
The court adjourned judgment pending scene visit to the Blue Water Motel, where the duo is purported to have been enjoying their trysts from.
Daily Mail
I just looked at the headline and i knew that the person at the center of this must be bemba.. and my guess was right…hahahah
bembas ubuchende!!!.. am sure he was trained by Pastor Dan pule,, another bemba..
these bembas sure,,, doing it in the grass in an open ground,,sure!!!!! hahahah,, there were no snakes in other grasses ka??..hahahahah
this kind of stereotype prevents pipo from using their brains to think bt their balls..
Religion is for brainwashed retards! Free yourselves from middle Eastern superstitions Dear Zambians.
Why should it bother you then?
I am bothered because of rubbish like the story above! Are you okay upstairs my friend?
@ Karl Einstein. I disagree, your statements in this regard are plain wrong. You read a religious article and blanket condemn all religious as “retards”… how? (Albert EINSTEIN (a christian) was hardly a retard was he?), so your wrong. Secondly, you say your bothered because of rubbish like the above story, then call into question my sanity for asking why your bothered? My question makes perfect sense! Ask yourself about yours though; your bothered about what? The story or the people or religion? And why? Because I hardly see that expressed in calling religious people retards. You bother not about people as much as discrediting something you don’t like. Even in you bother, you approached it wrong. Hate the sin, but love the sinner.

Karl is rigth! another house of Gold brought to shame! i hope the pastor wife did not die from HIV or else , wapya munzi!!
Donot hope.. the virus has already been passed.. maybe play for healing for them
“Pastor” hope you had nothing to do with hyour wife’s death, to marry another man’s wife. Man of God we are not judging you but from the texts you sent by mistake or no mistake, you r guilty. They may not find you guilty in these courts but God has been seeing you & one day you will face his eternal Judgement. Just repent wihile you stil have time. May God have mercy on you.
That is how Bembas behalf, ubumpelenge in the name of God, remember, Chiluba, Pule and now Chungu. Stealing not only money but even other people’s wife. Ifintu fyenu, stupid tribe
mbusa wa chibemba aye ni muntu,, mulekeni adye
umwanakashi nao liule fye.From her explanation she loved it also and enticed the pastor even before his wife passed away.May pastor is well off than the woman’s husband.Today’s women are crafty.There could be many reasons for this, non sexually satisfaction from her husband.Pastor, don’t waste the court’s time, just plead guilt and leave it to the court to give a verdict,capwa.
So called married women are the worst at adultery. Most of them are just like this woman in this story. Enticing other men and putting those men’s lives in danger of hiv ,public humiliation in court and violence.
Yangwe ! And you want to demonize gays while overlooking people committing adultery in this manner hurting other peoples feelings and marriages ? A country of hypocrites.
