Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema has urged his countrymen to stop checking on the phones of their spouses.
His comments were part of a plea to try and curb divorce rates in the country.
Records indicate the country recorded over 22,000 divorce cases last year alone, statistics that the president described as unfortunate.
Lack of conjugal rights, adultery, gender-based violence, insults and cruelty were among the major reasons people cited in courts for seeking divorce.
Statistics from the last 12 months showed the shortest marriage in the country lasted for 30 days while the longest was 65 years. END.
