In a startling revelation at the Matero Local Court in Lusaka, Zambia, a woman, Inness Banda, brought forth her red pant allegedly buried by her husband, Moses Banda, in a bid to bewitch her.
Inness recounted to Magistrate Harriet Mulenga that her husband, Moses, had issued threats against her life, claiming he had lost interest in their marriage.
Detailing the discovery, Inness disclosed, “I found something which looked like someone had dug and later covered it. Upon investigation, I unearthed my buried pant, adorned with what appeared to be charms.”
Expressing her distress, Inness narrated how she had felt compelled to seek refuge elsewhere, fearing for her safety after the unsettling discovery.
Moses, however, denied the accusations, asserting that despite enduring years of mistreatment, he harbored no intent to harm his wife.
Magistrate Harriet Mulenga, observing the irreconcilable nature of the dispute, ruled that attempts at reconciliation had faltered. She advised the aggrieved parties to pursue divorce proceedings instead.
As the proceedings unfold, the Matero Local Court grapples with a case emblematic of marital discord, underscoring the complexities of human relationships.
