They narrated how Tembo’s wife, Kunda and Kalusa were frequently spotted indulging in adultery at Kunda’s marital home, taking advantage of the fact that Tembo was often away at work as a security guard.
Upon receiving word of the adulterous behaviour, Kalusa’s wife, Banda, took decisive action and visited Tembo’s house, recruiting the landlady to bring her to the scene of the affair and upon arrival, Banda discovered that her husband was passionately attending to Kunda’s intimate needs, quenching her desires, and snoring after reaching cloud 9.
“I saw my husband, and I know exactly how he snores. When we knocked, he escaped, leaving behind his boxer,” Banda recounted.
During his testimony, Tembo confirmed that he had received late-night phone calls from unknown numbers, with the callers claiming that his wife, Kunda, was romantically involved with Kalusa.
Alarmed by these allegations, Tembo decided to contact his wife, who shockingly did not deny the claims instead, admitted that she was indeed involved in bedroom games relationship with Kalusa on that fateful day at 23:00 hours.

“Iwe mukulu onse, you can’t control your sexual desires, you are a shame to womanhood and I wonder what you can teach the youths and children out there,” she said.
Magistrate Mulenga further ruled in favour of Tembo, and ordered Kakusa to pay K5,000 in compensation for his transgression of committing adultery with Tembo’s wife.
