MUKATA’S EX-WIFE WANTS THE BED
KEITH Mukata’s ex-wife Maricoh Roisin Hoare has proposed to the Court that she be given their matrimonial bed in a property settlement.
Ms Hoare has also proposed that Windsor premier Bakery property in Makeni and all equipment be sold and the proceeds shared equally or Mr Mukata buys out the property at the cost of K2 Million.
She also wants to get the private businesses which includes; Jumping castle (seven pieces), Slushie machine (two pieces) , Cotton machine (two pieces), Cartoon costumes (five pieces), Trampoline , 100 pieces of Palm tree plants in the Green house yard and two trucks in the warehouse backyard.
And that the Land Rover Discovery registration number AJE 1959 be given to her.
This is according to Ms Hoare’s affidavit in opposition to affidavit in support of summons for maintenance and property settlement filed in the Lusaka High Court.
In this matter, the Lusaka High Court on February 4, 2022, granted the duo divorce following a petition by Ms Hoare that the marriage to the former Chilanga Member of Parliament had irretrievably broken down.
Judge Dorcas Malama referred the issue of property settlement to the Registrar if they two did not reach an agreement.
In an affidavit in support of summons for maintenance and property settlement, Mr Mukata stated that all negotiations with his former wife to agree on property settlement had proved futile.
He proposed that the matrimonial property which was acquired with his former wife, Maricoh Roisin Hoare, be sold with 33.3 percent of proceeds of sale channelled to the children’s University education.
Mr Mukata has also proposed that he and the ex-wife should contribute 50 percent each to the monthly maintenance of the three children of the family, which expenses are in a total of K79, 000.00 inclusive of school fees and transport.
But Ms Hoare has submitted that the matrimonial property should not be sold but shared equally as she has sentimental attachment to it because all the children were born from there.
She has however proposed that the 1.3 acres of Subdivion A of farm no.691 situate at Kasupe in Lusaka West and the 20 acres in Kafue which is bare land be given to the ex-husband.
She said Mr Mukata be awarded the property known as NK7A Nakatindi resettlement area in Livingstone while the two hectares of farm 4141 in Kitwe’s Meanwood Park be shared equally.
Ms Hoare submitted that she be awarded the five acres plot subdivision B of farm no.691 situate at Kasupe which was formerly owned by Mr and Mrs Ngulube and the contract of sale signed at Legal Aid Clinic for Women.
The petitioner also wants the 70 acre plot of subdivision A of plot 9431/M at Lusaka’s Mwembeshi Farm ,which comprises two bedroomed semi-detached house , two boreholes, 150 goats, 200 ducks and 200 village chickens .
And that she should be awarded the shop in Makeni because she is the sole beneficiary and also the five acres land in Nkosi Airport side.
“That the two trucks registration number GK13 KGG and HY10 and HY10 VYT should be sold and the proceeds shared 50/50. That the mini bus quantum (grey) registration number ALZ 8333 be sold and the proceeds shared 50/50,” she submitted.
