…ANYWAY, I ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY SINCE THE BABY LOOKS LIKE ME – MANUNGU MAN TELLS COURT
The Monze Urban Local Court has ordered a man from Monze to pay K12, 000 after he impregnated her while they were cohabiting in 2020.
Byta FM Monze Court Journalist reports that Simbiya Hamachila of Chibuyu Compound sued Aaron Chama of Manungu Compound, demanding K20, 000 as compensation for the damages.
Hamachila tells the court that Chama used to cohabit with her daughter and provided her with material support; a period during which she fell pregnant and gave birth.
She says Chama was called to discuss payments for the damages, but says he was not cooperative with her requests, prompting her to take the matter to court.
Chama admits to having an affair with Hamachila’s daughter, but says it only lasted for two days, with his girlfriend chasing him whenever he went to visit.
He says he was later informed that he impregnated her; which he says he was initially doubtful of but has come to accept after seeing his resemblance with the child.
Senior Local Magistrate Hellen Moonga ordered Chama to pay Hamachila K12, 000 in monthly installments of K500, starting with a initial payment of K2,500 on the 31st of March, 2022.
