Sakala,27, a resident of George compound, told the Matero local court that he had lost interest in his wife, Prescilla Musole , 22, because she was not faithful.
His was testifying in a case in which he sued for marriage reconciliation.
“All along I did not know that my wife was communicating with Chris of Livingstone until I went through her phone and found that they have been exchanging love messages.
I came to understand the reason she goes outside to answer her phone,” Sakala said.
He told the court that Musole once told him that Chris was nice to her.
Sakala said, “One time she told me that Chris promised to enroll her in school if she goes out with him.”
He said it was disappointing that his wife was taking to another man while still married to him.
Sakala, told the court he was not willing to reconcile with Musole.
According to The Zambia Observer, Musole had earlier told the court that Sakala’s mother does not like her.
“My husband told me that his mother has been telling him that he should marry another woman. She has also told me that I should stay away from her son,” she said.
Musole said she was forced confess to her husband that she was having an affair with another man because Sakala threatened to strangle her to death if she did not confess.
She told the court that she wants to reconcile with her husband because no man can marry her if he leaves her.
“At the moment, no man can look at me because I have stroke which I got in Sakala’s house. I love my husband and still want to remain with him,” Musole said.
In passing judgment, the magistrate, Pauline Newa dismissed the claim on grounds that Sakala was not willing to reconcile.
