Duncan Kakulekelo Mushala has been married for thirty years and has had 6 children. He has put his wife in so much emotional turmoil that she has slipped in and out of major depression. He has vowed to make her life miserable because he is the bread winner and can pretty much do anything. She has especially suffered over the last decade from mental, emotional, and physical abuse that Duncan Mushala has inflicted on her. Duncan Mushala was married to a widow from the Lusaka Airport area - secretly - and preyed on her. He started working for TAVETA and secretly does a woman he works with, Christine. She is a widow too (What are these widows thinking). He has money and so these desperate shanty compound women are easy target (the 1st wife lived in some school hostels while Christine live in dumpy Chilenje area). He wants to move his adulterous lovie into his matrimonial home and chase away his children and wife. What a low life!

Personally, I have no problem with divorce when it is absolutely called for, as in this case. But I differ with men that want to destitute their partners by hiding behind the antiquated local courts. Local courts in Zambia, as you might know, are governed by customary law in family matters. This means that the woman has no say in the decision for property sharing and the man can do what ever he please because they 'court' is behind him. Truly a recipe for disaster and backwardness.

If Duncan Mushala wants a divorce, let him leave the matrimonial home and go to chilenje. But no, Christine wants to leave in Kabulonga with her brutes and litter and she will push for this. The sad thing is, Duncan Mushala is a graduate of UNZA. Wow! I wonder how a moron like him has got so far, but then again, it people like Duncan Mushala that have caused the regression of civility.

Please join me in calling for any end to this unethical, inhumane way of treating women. The courts should make an exam of people like Duncan Muishala and make sure that he leave the house for his childish whims. Women in Zambia need all of us to join hands and require the equality of all, especially in matters of divorce.

The TEVETA management should also see to it that such unethical conduct and treatment of women and dissolution of all that is not good by people like Duncan Mushala do not go unnoticed. Also, women like Christine should be ashamed that they would conjure up such schemes to ruin the lives of another family. Remember Christine, if he treated his wife of Thirty years like this, imagine how he will treat you as you and your litter. Remember that!
