What started as a happy celebration has turned sour, as Mercy Bwalya, a 23-year-old from the outskirts of Lusaka, was caught cheating on her 44-year-old husband, John Ncwane, with their wedding DJ, who was also her ex-boyfriend. It’s said that she has been unfaithful with 32 other men too.
Ncwane, who met Bwalya on Facebook, married her only a year after his first wife passed away.
Feeling betrayed and shocked, Ncwane has filed for divorce at the Matero Local Court. He claims that Bwalya not only cheated on him but also used charms to control him during their short marriage.
Ncwane explained that Bwalya and her family tricked him in many ways, like hiring her ex-boyfriend as the wedding DJ and making him pay for wedding chefs when they actually cooked the food themselves.
He found out just days after their wedding that Bwalya was involved with 33 men, including her ex-boyfriend, and he even discovered nude photos of these men on her phone.
Ncwane shared that he sold his belongings from his late wife to pay for a fancy wedding for Bwalya, which cost over K205,000.
While cleaning the wardrobe one day, he found a packet of charms that he thinks caused his sudden health problems, making his legs look strange, like a zebra or snake.
“One night, Bwalya told me to take off my clothes, bathe in charms, and run around the house naked. Under her influence, I did what she said, not knowing how dangerous it was. I had no idea my children had noticed.
