LIVING up to the reputation of Lusaka, a city notorious for rampant adultery and fornication – a youthful assistant bricklayer with an appetite for elderly married women has been fined K10,000 for ‘planting his erect pillar’ in the foundation of another man’s wife.

Instead of helping to build houses as per his occupation, John Phiri aged 22 of Garden House area assigned himself the sinful task of laying his reproductive pipe into Esther, the wife a Nicholas Chisanga.

Yesterday, Phiri sheepishly appeared before the Lusaka Boma Local Court where he was sued by Chisanga who was seeking to be compensated for the sweetness the bricklayer had extracted from his wife.

The court heard that Phiri took advantage of Chisanga’s travels as a businessman to sweet-talk himself in between the easily-separable legs of Esther who is seven years his senior.

Suspicious of his wife and her Ben 10 lover, Chisanga hatched a plan to catch them pants down.

Chisanga told his wife he was going out of town for his usual business but instead went and hid in one of the houses in the neighborhood.

Convinced that her husband was out, Esther and her boyfriend linked up in the night to busk in a night of blissful enjoyment but were unfortunately caught in the act.

Called upon as a witness in the matter, Esther shamelessly strutted into the packed room in high heels and readily admitted to her infidelity much to the shock of the public gallery.

Esther confessed that although she had illegally allowed Phiri entry into her jar of pleasure, she and her lover did not make love on the night her husband caught them as they were just starting to warm up for a whole-night marathon of copulation.

In his defense, Phiri who stays in the same neighborhood as his Esther and her husband said he did not know that his lover was a married woman because she had never mentioned it.

In passing judgement, Local Court Magistrate Gerstone Kalala advised Phiri to go for single women of his age before ordering him to compensate Chisanga with K10, 000 which should be paid in monthly installments of K500.
