A nurse from Libala, Zambia, is seeking a divorce after discovering the debts her husband had accumulated and that their vehicle was about to be seized. She also says she is repaying from her salary a car loan taken out in her name, according to Diggers at the Chilenje local court.

A 29-year-old nurse, Mwendalubi Mwanalumbi, has filed for divorce at the Chilenje local court in Zambia after discovering the debts her husband had accumulated, Diggers reports. She said creditors had come to seize their vehicle and that her husband had not repaid a car loan taken out in her name, leaving her to cover the deductions from her salary.

Mwendalubi Mwanalumbi, who lives in Libala, has brought proceedings against Isaac Lundumuka, a 32-year-old physiotherapist working with the national team who is from Shantumbu. The couple had been separated for a year and seven months at the time of the hearing, according to Diggers.
