“Tembo fled after injuring his wife while the wife was taken to Kamuzu Central hospital where she received treatment untill the 27th of January,” she said.

Tembo hails from Chimwanya Village, T/A Chitukula in Lilongwe while his wife comes from Mkalambo Village, T/A Chimutu in the same district.

i’m sorry to say i disagree with your opinion. it is her body. men like you nee to respect her boundaries. it isn’t her obligation to have sex whenever you want! people can be in a married relationship and not have sex. it doesnt have to be part of the relationship. it was the man who was idiotic. please take your stupidity elsewhere.

Women always forget one thing that is….it is very easy for a man to access sex from somewhere especially now…..with just MK300 one is assured of some good sex from these hungry women along the streets.This is what is fueling the spread of HIV and Aids in Malawi…..woman you deliberately drive your husbands out of the house and expect to be safe…….do you really know what a hungry penis does to a man?
