A married overseer at Zion Church in Livingstone has been fined K20,000 as compensation for committing adultery with one of his married church members.
Prophet Gift Ngulube, 41, appeared in the Livingstone Local Court after Christopher Kwengele, 36, sued him for committing adultery with his wife Patricia Muyesongo, 32. Kwengele told senior local court magistrate Mulonda Mulonda that he was demanding K30,000 as compensation from Ngulube.
“My wife started congregating at Zion Church this year on January 24 where Prophet Ngulube is the overseer. He is also her former lover. One night, she received a phone call when we were sleeping and she went outside to answer,” he said.
“But after waiting for her to return for 10 minutes, I decided to follow her only to find the two having sex in our unoccupied servant’s quarter”, he said. “I heard my wife screaming in sexual excitement with this preacher man on top. And when I entered the quarter, behold, this so called prophet was naked on top of my naked wife. I tried to separate the two but ironically, the preacher man who was not using any condom, pleaded with me to allow him to ejaculate and then settle the matter”, said the owner of the wife amidst faces registering surprise in a Livingstone fully packed court.
