A businessman in Zambia is demanding 12-thousand Zambian Kwacha in the Local Court from his choirmate who he accuses of sleeping with his wife.

Reports are that Owen Mwanze, aged 35 testifies that the amount is a balance from the initial K13-thousand Kwacha after Simon Bayani paid One Thousand Kwacha as admission of guilt.

The defendant, however, denies ever having an affair with the plaintiff’s wife and accuses his friend of wrongly accusing him.

Mwanze testifies that he found love messages from the defendant in his wife’s phone in August 2020 and confronted his spouse who admitted to having an affair with Bayani.

It is said that Mwanze testified his wife also admitted that they were meeting at night in his house when he is out for business.

Bayani admits paying One thousand Kwacha when confronted, but says only because Mwanze, a man he describes as his friend threatened him.

He has since applied for an adjournment as he seeks to call witnesses to help him in the matter.

Magistrate Siachitema has since adjourned the matter to 19 April 2021 for continued defense, ZambianObserver reports.
