A 52-YEAR-OLD woman has asked the Lusaka Boma local court to grant her divorce because her husband allegedly keeps a magic snake in their matrimonial bedroom to boost his business.
This was heard in a case in which Easter Bwalya of Kaunda Square Stage II sued her husband, Johnston Chilekwa, 60, of the same township for divorce because he often threatens to kill her using his snake.
“Chilekwa also refuses to make love with me as he gets instructions from the snake. My husband tells me that this is for his business and that if I am unhappy about it I can leave him and go and live with my children,” she said.
Bwalya said Chilekwa has also told her that traditional healers have told him his snake should decide when he should make love.
She said sometimes he behaves like a mad person and threatens to kill her.

Bwalya said Chilekwa has also told her that if she continues to live with him, she will not know how death will strike her.
She said Chilekwa concentrates more on business than on his domestic responsibilities, including love-making.
“Every time I ask him why he refuses to make love with me, the answer is: `business first and things like sex come last because I have my boss who gives me instructions’,” she told the court.
Bwalya said Chilekwa’s strange behaviour started in 1997 when he got a shop at city market. He now has three shops.
Bwalya also said that she once found some charms in the house and Chilekwa told her that they were for boosting his business and that she should not reveal this to anyone.
She said in 2007, Chilekwa began to behave like a mad person and would chase her from home. She would later return home but before long, he would chase her again.
“I am tired of my husband’s behaviour. I cannot continue living like this. Every time he chases me, I go to my daughter’s place,” Bwalya said.
She said this pattern of living continued until she eventually moved out permanently and stopped talking about her husband’s business.
Bwalya said she tried to have the matter resolved with the help of her husband’s relatives, but to no avail.
She said that she now wants the court to grant her divorce.
In defence, Chilekwa told the court that he loves Bwalya very much and he is not ready to divorce her.
Chilekwa said Bwalya is a quiet and understanding woman and that he would not want to lose her.
He said, however, that all that Bwalya had stated as her reasons for wanting a divorce was not true.
Chilekwa said Bwalya just likes staying with their daughter.
In passing her judgment, senior presiding magistrate Elipher Mwewa warned Chilekwa that charms are a source of marriage breakdowns.
Magistrate Mwewa, who was sitting with senior magistrate Gastone Kalala and Martha Tembo, granted divorce and ordered that Chilekwa pays Bwalya K15 million for maintenance in monthly instalments of K500,000.

What is the problem here, the snake or the D I C K?:-?
Granting divorce has not solved the witchcraft in this matter, it should be reported to police at the same time. THEN #1 it’s the snake that has caused starvation for the D.I.C.K
Mhhhh charm love, charm business story always
snake love indeed….snake business, lomba businesss ..what a world.
this is total madness..how do you listen to a snake..?
How come this couple in this story are same ages as the couple in the first story?
Chiengi school of medicine answers everything.
Life in Africa is a puzzle dont worry both of you time has come to part company alive.
Wonders never sees to happen. In the 21st century people are still dealing with charms. I thought people are thinkers.That’s the reason Zambia can’t progress because people still listen to stupid illusions.
maybe its a female snake and is sacking all juice out of the man…yakumbuyo with a snake:d
njoka ni njoka:o
Point of correction, this is not a snake, its a “lomba”, there is a big difference I tell you.
Ama story yamo !
Is this a true story?
if its really a true story,LT this is your time to show your true jounalism,why don’t you go and get a picture of this snake, if you really want us to believe your stories
Ubuloshi mwebantu, can you even sucrifice making luv,awe mwandi,maybe the same snake gives him a head,chilamufyompa
#15 Ba Thomlee – You imagination is vivid, lol
Thomlee #14 this is a blog, they have mentioned all the Magistrates’ names, if it is a fabricated story, the Magistrates will deal with Lusaka Times, ask The Post to go and dig deeper, they will give you the photographs you so much desire.
A good dose of education and information purges the mind of this kind of foolishness.
Thermometer #17,its not that i desire the photoes,its just checking how legit is this story
“business first and all other things like S.E.X come second. I am receiving instructions from my boss when to make love” This man is a devil and he is not worthy living with. There is also a possibility that this man has a second wife within Lusaka who satisfies his D.I.C.K. I can not understand how a normal man with sexual hormones can be controlled by his business and the boss. K15m is not enough for maintanence it should be increased to K150m because this man has 3 shops in Lusaka. When the business is doing fine D.I.C.K must also be enjoying the fruit to the maximum, I mean at home. Every other night or day things should happen in the home. What is stopping this man from using his D.I.C.K is madness and selfishiness I believe.
The other case where a man was sleeping with his maid, the wife was denied divorce despite the husband not showing any remorse. Adultery is the only recognized reason for granting divorce in the Bible. In this era of HIV/AIDS, that human should have been relieved also before she is sentenced to death through her husbands infidelity. The courts should be consistent.
njoka ni njoka sure… good point, how do you listen to a snake?
These stories are more too similar, Why in all the cases, the women are the ones suing the men?
Toatl madness. How do you get information from a snake. such pipo deverses living alone.
Does the snake help with erections?? oh! sorry elections? :d
I still wonder why the magistrates did not proceed on confinscanting the source of trouble b4 ending their marriage. This wizard ‘man’ may in return kill his former wife to save money :d
# 1 Please reread the story until u nderstand it correctly. no contribution without understanding the top in question :o

Ungrateful woman. Most woman pray for snakes in the bedroom, if you see what I mean.
The names Bwalya and Chilekwa tell a lot about the upbring of these two people. I just hope the settlement by the magistrates will bring happiness to them both.
Enjoy and be blessed.
