When Banda asked Kabonde who the man was, Kabonde and her family confessed that the baby Banda had been preparing for was not his.

Heartbroken and angry, Banda decided to take the matter to the Kanyama local court where he demanded that Kabonde and her family repay him all he spent on her.

“I do not want to argue with this family. They are heartless. All I want is for them to give me back the money I spent on the child,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kabonde told the court that she never told Banda the pregnancy was his but claimed he chose to help her out of his own will because he wanted to marry her.

“He knew I had another man. He is just upset because I refused to marry him,” she defended herself.

When the case was heard before the magistrate, Esther Mulomba, the court found that Kabonde had acted unfairly by accepting Banda’s help while knowing the child belonged to another man.

The court ordered Kabonde to compensate Banda for all the money he spent during her pregnancy.
