Neighbourly affair goes sour
MULENGA MUSONDA Writes@SunZambian “Love thy neighbour as thyself” was taken too far by a 31 years old man who helped his sick neighbour that could not perfom his befroom duties by impregnating his wife.In this matter Christopher Chanda of Choma’s Zambia Township has been dragged to the Choma Subordinate Court by Godfrey Muyuni 38, in a civil law suit on allegations of impregnating his wife.Muyuni who is the Plaintiff is claiming K40,000 in compensation from Chanda his neighbour after he admitted to being in an adulterous affair with his wife but has kept on denying impregnating her.According to Muyuni’s wife , she started a sexual relationship with Chanda which resulted into the blessing of a child early this year following her husband’s failure to peefom his bedroom duties because of ill health.But when the matter came up for defense before Senior Resident Magistrate Idah Mupemo, the defendant who continuously denied responsibility of the Pregnancy testified that during a meeting, he admitted to having an affair with Muyuni’s 29 years old wife.“I admitted in the meeting and the plaintiff stated that he had forgiven me. He asked for K500 to meet the costs which I paid the same day,” he testified.Chanda went on to say that after sometime he was just shocked to receive a summon alleging that he had impregnated his neighbour’s wife.“Yes, I was in a relationship with your wife, but that was not my pregnancy,” Chanda responded in cross examination.After the close of defense and analysing the evidence from both parties, Magistrate Mupemo ordered that a DNA test be conducted on the Plaintiff, Defendant and the child before judgement could be passed.The DNA test costs to be met by both parties , the Court ordered.
