A 12-year-old girl in Lusaka, Zambia, has brought down a 77-year-old man after she exposed him to her father that he was sleeping with her mother, each time he was away.
The details of the unexpected adultery lay naked in the Matero Local Court where 77-year-old retiree, Kaluba Friday of Lusaka’s Matero sued his former tenant, Luckson Mwanza, aged 44 for defamation.
According to Zambia Observer, Luckson, an excavator operator residing in Chipata district of Eastern Province, was sued for defamation of character on grounds that he accused the plaintiff of sleeping with his wife
Kaluba told the court that Mwanza had been his tenant since 2018 until last month when he decided to move from his house in Zingalume, but that they had complications regarding payment of last month’s rent.
The plaintiff said when he called Mwanza asking for his rent, the defendant refused saying he couldn’t pay him because he discovered that the old landlord overstepped his boundaries and was having sex with his wife, an accusation Kaluba said was false and he decided to sue him.
But when the court asked Mwanza if it was true he defamed an elder, he insisted that his statement was true as he was sure that the old man was enjoying his last days on top of his wife.
His job required him to be in Chipata, so his wife would only remain home with his 12-year-old daughter (her step-child) but that he would send her money for rent every month, and she would pay to Kaluba.
He stated that last month, he was informed by a neighbour that his wife was bringing in a man into their matrimonial home while he was away at work in Chapata district.
The neighbour told Mwanza to come to Lusaka in the night, around 04:00 a.m., so that he could catch his wife red-handed and indeed, it happened.
