The Ndola Main Local Court has granted a woman divorce after it established that she has been the sole provider of the family while her husband used his money on his personal things.
Passing judgment, Senior Presiding Magistrate Elizabeth Banda upheld Mwaka Kaputa’s claim of divorce and ordered her former husband Yenky Chikuma to pay K10,000 in compensation.
The money will be paid in monthly instalments of K500. Chikuma, 36, was also ordered to pay K250 child support monthly.
Kapupa, 33, told the court that Chikuma abandoned the family and did not support it financially.
