A LUSAKA Boma Local Court yesterday dismissed a case in which Patriotic Front (PF) Chimwemwe member of Parliament Willie Nsanda sued another man for committing adultery with his former wife, Phebby Mumba.
Mr. Nsanda sued Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC) director of programmes Ernest Mwuamba for allegedly committing adultery with Mumba at a guest house in Lusaka.
The ruling was delivered yesterday by presiding magistrate Henry Mwananshiku.
Mr. Mwananshiku in dismissing the case said Mr. Nsanda never found the two sleeping together and there was no exhibit to prove the allegation.
He said though Nsanda tried very hard to convince the court that there was adultery committed, there was no proof.
“This case is dismissed in the sense that Mr Nsanda never found the two sleeping together and he did not get any exhibit to prove his allegation.
“Although he tried by all means to prove it, he never found them committing adultery and according to all witnesses from both parties, there was nothing like that. This case is over,” he said.
Mr Mwananshiku said such suspicions are always there due to human nature.
He advised Nsanda to read the Bible, where he will find the painful reality that human beings are like lost sheep.
Making submissions before the ruling, Nsanda insisted that Mwuamba and Mumba knew each other.
He said if Mumba did not know Mwuamba, she could not have answered his phone-call the way she did when she was phoned using the latter’s mobile phone.
“In these cases people die with a ‘no’ (answer). Even I can’t admit,” Nsanda said.
And Mwuamba maintained that he never had an adulterous affair with Mumba.
“I want my name to be cleared so that I can move on because I was wrongly accused,” he said.
After the verdict Nsanda indicated that he wants to appeal against the ruling.
But outside court he told journalists that he will appeal against the earlier ruling in which the court granted Mumba divorce from him, and ordered that they share property they acquired together equally.
Nsanda said in the case where Mumba sued him for divorce, the court allegedly forced the MP to admit that Mumba was his wife. He said this was against his will.
“In this case (the adultery one) the court is saying there is no evidence from witnesses but in that other one there was no witness who said she was my wife. She did not bring any relative to prove that she was my wife,” Nsanda said.
He accused the court of hurrying the divorce case and that judgement was ready within 30 minutes.
Nsanda said since the court forced him to admit that Mumba was his wife, it equally forced him to sue Mwuamba for adultery.
He said there was no way Mumba could sue him for divorce because she allegedly fled the matrimonial home on her own.
Nsanda said this was the reason why he did not take the matter to court before Mumba sued him for divorce.
And Mwuamba said there was nothing he could say because the court had already ruled accordingly.
In his evidence-in-chief, Nsanda told the court that he saw Mwuamba fondling Mumba at Mutende Guesthouse in Ibex Hill area.
He said he did not approach the two because he was very annoyed.

“She can’t divorce me because she is not my wife.” ” I am suing this man for commiting adultery with my wife.” Well, well, this man is Mr Sata’s right hand man and going by his behaviour here, Zambians will be in trouble when these guys get into power! The boss has children outside wedlock, his leutenant is scandalising, what shall we have?
shame Nsanda… These are the people who want to rule this nation. i cry the beloved land…
#1 am equally confused….Nsanda sued someone for commiting aldultery with someone who is not his wife? Lets wait to hear the defence from the PF spin doctors. But in all honest, this is not leadership material.
this courts are becoming pathetic, there was no marriage license to prove marriage but you declared it marriage and forced Insanda to share his property even what he acquired before meeting this harlot. now said he saw the two fondling each other at the guest house and you want evidence. what was a married woman doing with another man at the guest house. i would advise Nsanda to forget about these courts and take the law in your own hands. you have money. hire some snipers from south africa, let them sort out this adulterous man. he has trespassed hence he must pay. even in the bible someone who slept with someones woman must die. he deserves death
Nsanda is the one who is such a big male-Harlot…if there is such a term. Nsanda is a big shame, they even call him honourable…what honourable!!:o. He must share his estate so that he keeps a distance from women next time…An old guy who behaves like a teenage boy must go the Nsanda way. When does he even concentrate on his work. No wonder ZED is poor!!!
Yes she is not your wife man.There are no legal papers to back the the marriage, hence she is just as good as a girlfriend or mistress.I can die with a “no” by not acknowledging the marriage if i were you.:-?
# 1,3 please read the lower part of the article, dont be too quick to judge. Nsanda clearly states that the court forced him to admit that mumba was his wife and so he also sued the other guy basing on the courts decision. # 5 dont forget the biggest teenager RB sleeping with his grand child. do you call that his excellence!!! # 2 Zambia has been ruled before by a wife snatcher so what is worse to complain that some one has snatched your wife or to actually snatch someone’s wife because you are a president
Even in the olden days the traditional court could have dissolved the marriage over a reason that a woman who is “married” went into a room together with another man.Since when did k.osw.e nembalala became friends ?
My grand father chief mushota couldn`t have agreed to that.:-?
Two consenting adults “probably” had sex. What’s the big deal? She was not raped, she agreed and wanted to have a “good time.” She had her good time, just like Mwuamba had his good time.
I don’t actually don’t know what the law in Zambia says about adultery. Not that I want people to commit adultery left, right, and center. But still, I think if two adults decide to have consensual sex… well, leave them alone.
# 90 The big deal is they are not married so they should nt have sex. Come on man it does not come any simpler than that. The law is there and quiet adequate. Infact it comes two ways interfering with marriage and plain commiting adultery. In all Honesty i dont believe your contribution because commiting adultery is an offence even in the USA. its biblical for that matter.
ati honourable,si gonena uyu nsanda,mini bus driver pa ndola kitwe bus stop,typical kaponya
next we hear ati minister of transport,what a joke,nechinso ububi, so maybe abakashi abobene nimbama, elyo ba nsanda bena nichokako weka msssstttth

Ba Archibald who is better a bus driver or a bus conductor? te nombaline bus conductor was a president.
iwe ka ibange libi
ever heard of a saying ati even a frog could have won against KK,people wanted change and they had no option but to vote for that midget from the jungles of congo,,,just because we had a conductor the midget for presido so we should now have a bus driver, ndiye kupusa uko
anyway,a conductor is as good as a driver,they have a lot in common,midget lazo divorced vera,naye nsande asiliza vikwati vake,bus driver and co-driver,pumbafu!!
Mr nsanda should have used the 90 days formula to win the case.NEXT sir consult the elders in the party before taking such matters to court.
THE SAINT
How old are you? All Zambian above 20years today are very much aware that Nsanda is a former Minister of Transport and Communication in MMD Govt led by your King FTJ great adulterer. If you were there why didnt you complain having a dull Cabinet Minister. Today you saying what you have said becayse this man is in the opposition? Muselela Kwakaba kandile
Shameful shameful. All Shameful behaviour and conduct. The man should resign from public life. Zambia deserves better leaders. This man’s utterances indicate that he may not have much wisdom. May be it would be good for him t share his wealth with the ex-wife so that he learns to keep his pants up. He’s embarrassing his family – original wife and children.
No 9 Power 90, it seems you don’t have a problem with two adults deciding to have consensual sex. Then ask your spouse to go and be enjoyed by Someone she likes besides you. You sound like the kind of people who exchange spouses with neighbors. You sound like you have once taken your spouse out to be enjoyed my someone. Wow, you wonders will never cease. You must be some one would is fond of the brothels.
Which planet do you come from? Do ever come back to Zambia just stay there in a country of no morals.
Adultery always has shameful consequences. This is only one example.
# please bashi-mafumu kuma-court ama divorcees mulebapoka ama marriage rings ngafyapwa ifima-marriage.Ba-nsanda you did’nt remove it.
# 19
Check the finger on which the ring is, To me thats not the finger for the wedding ring
Chiluba, Bwezani and Nsanda all dont have morals, they dont deserve to be political leaders. In the past we have made mistakes to elect for these people but now there is need to change by voting for people who have morals and forget about the past.
one should always have proof before walking off otherwise you will look stupid like this fool .of course they where having an affair there is no smoke without fire
#12 ibange libi….are you the PF version of Veteran/Senior Citizen? Defending even things which dont make sense as long as its PF involved. How can Nsanda say the courts forced him to admit that the lady was his wife? An adult being forced to agree to something he does not believe in? and to think he is a former minister makes one wonder!
# 23 i just quoted what is written in the article. if it makes sense to you or not you be the judge. i was just pointing out that # 1 an 3 did not read the article to the end so they concluded wrongly. i state things with facts i dont know why you want to argue when the article clearly says so
#7 Before you criticise others, read the statement by Nsanda, quote “He said there was no way Mumba could sue him for divorce because she allegedly fled the matrimonial home on her own”. What do you make of that? Let’s not be misled by this (dis)Honourable Nsanda.
#15, are you suggesting that we should allow such ru.bbi.sh in our future government because there is a precedent. I thought that humans learnt from past expereince, also known as history.
#20 This is a gong’a husband, anything goes. Can you check GBM too?
When these *****s start dieing of H I V you foo ls will be on here with MHSRIP rubbish, may God this may God that. Just like you were saying pali ka Teta. Ubucende bakapoli imwe muka pwa.
He is MP for Chimwemwe, but he is forever in Lusaka, Chimwemwe is in a bad state, bad roads, no street lights etc.
Kwena ni SMS, ba Nsanda your divorce was ready in 30 minutes?
Sir!, you appeal, this is good drama ba veep wesu.
#10 and #17:
I’ll restate my point. I don’t think people should go around committing adultery, i.e. going around having sex with people that they are not married to. I think it’s morally wrong. But I also think that legislating morality is NOT ALWAYS the answer. So if my wife chooses to have sex outside of marriage, I think she should be taken to task for breaking her marriage vows. Just like I expect to be taken to task if I break my marriage vows. I don’t think I should try to make money out of another guy because my wife broke her vows. Just like I don’t think my wife should make money out of another woman because I broke my vows.
Willie Nsanda shud just assume my name.
And you have such as your Learders!!!! Ba GBM, NSANDA, KAMBWILI and others too numerous to mention…….what quality of stupid leadership you want you fools
hey gentlemen, these things happen. It was in fact wrong for Nsanda to sue that character from CEEC. However, we all need to note and condemn in the strongest terms possible the miscarriage of justice exhibited in the other court proceedings where Nsanda is being asked to share his assets with a gold digger. That all judgment is repugnant to natural justice because all the key issues raised by the defendant (i.e. Nsanda) were not given due consideration. Nsanda has paternity doubts on the kid and any fair judge would have ordered for a DNA TEST. Nsanda should appeal so that final judgment will be “beyond any reasonable doubt”. Also, how can the local court order the sharing of assets and money which that women found already in place. this is misrepresentation of the spirity of the law.
#20 Thank you. but with so much illiteracy muli bamudaala don’t you think it was put on the wrong finger? anyway today wedding rings can be put anywhere in even muma-pants.maka-maka uko kubulaya.
#7ibange libi- These MMD thugs dont want to read the full story and like their Toilet Paper Times of Zambia want to piece together some parts of paragraphs so as to show that Nsanda is confused. As for the Saint, even KK had children had children ou of wedlock.It is not un African.
lol another clown from PF, drama will never finish lol.
