SIOMA District Commissioner (DC) Edmond Mumbula has joined the shameful list of senior public servants allowing their genitals and not policies to make news.
Sioma is a poor rural district tucked in between Sesheke and Mongu with the only asset and raw material found there being Lozi proverbs and dances while access to clean water is a major challenge.
However, instead of drilling boreholes in the district, the 68-year old District Commissioner has been drilling a married woman Harriet Mayambu and earned himself the unenviable record of being the first official under the the almost-new-government to let his manhood interfere with governance.
The grandfather opted to drill the wife of National Prosecutions Authority (NPA) prosecutor Patrick Mwiimbi and record a video of himself and the woman in question under the guise that he wanted to be watching it to remind himself of the sweet sin he had committed before God, man and the Ngonye Falls.
Mwiimbi 59, of Livingstone was only made aware of his wife’s infidelity after his children forwarded to his mobile phone a video of their having sex with the DC.
The couple has been married for 33 years and have six children together.
After being confronted, the DC admitted to committing adultery with Mwiimbi’s wife and agreed to compensate him with a sum of K300,000.
However, Mwiimbi resorted to drag the DC to the Livingstone Local Court after he failed to pay single ngwee of the agreed compensation.
In court, Harriet who acted in the x-rated video admitted before her promiscuity.
Harriet said she had even left her marriage because her children who had seen the video of her kissing and being severely penalised by a man not their father had started calling her ‘Litilimbwa’ meaning ‘prostitute’ in SiLozi.
Harriet accused her husband of causing problems in their marriage because he had a lot of girlfriends.
As for her estranged husband and owner of the prostituting wife; he asked the court to compel the DC to pay K300, 000 for drilling his wife without mercy.
As for for the DC, he admitted to having sex with Harriet but insisted that he did not know she was a married woman.
“I was not happy when I found out she is married. She accepted my proposal because we were both single. I did not know she is a crook,” he told the court.
However, in the balance of law and facts, the court only ordered the DC to pay husband of the woman a mere K25,000 so that he may cool his heart and accept that the morals of his wife, also mother of his children, were cheaper than a freezit during cold season.
Unhappy with the K25,000 awarded to him, Mwiimbi indicated that he would escalate the matter to the Magistrate where he would lodge in an appeal against the “pocket change” judgement.
