LUSAKA-(MaraviPost)-A Mtendere East man told a Lusaka court that he uncovered his wife’s alleged affair after secretly activating the call-recording feature on her phone.
Lazarus Nyirongo, 52, who hails from Rufunsa, said he gave the phone to his wife, Eneless Tembo, 40, a businesswoman from Mtendere East, before she traveled to the village.
According to News Diggers, Nyirongo told the court the phone later recorded her conversations with another man.
The couple have been separated for nearly a year and Tembo has now filed for divorce.
Nyirongo said he confronted Tembo after listening to the recordings and demanded to see the man.
According to him, she asked for forgiveness, but he said trust has been lost.
“The incident left me unable to trust her again,” he told the court.
The divorce application is before the Lusaka courts. No ruling has been made.
In Zambia, recording calls without consent can raise issues under privacy and cyber laws.
It is now up to the court to decide whether such material can be used as evidence.
