A HOUSEWIFE of Lusaka West has claimed that her husband and her step son would have sex with her daughters while she was away.
She made the claims before the Matero Local Court how her husband and her step-sons would have sex with her daughters while she was out working at night.
Gertrude Zulu, 37, told the court that while she was out slaving for the family every night, her husband, Charles Kalaluka, 45, and his sons would take turns having sexual relations with her daughters.

“When we got married, I was managing a bar. Even though we started staying together, Kalaluka never accepted my children but I accepted his,” she said.
Zulu told the court that when one of her daughters became pregnant, Kalaluka’s son revealed that he was not the one responsible but his father.
