MERCY COWHAM LEFT HER CHILD AS SECURITY AT A LODGE IN KITWE IN 2015 AND HAS NEVER COLLECTED HER
The family of Mercy Cowham have disclosed that Mercy Cowham left one of her children at a Lodge in Kitwe as security for her unpaid bills.
Mercy had booked a room at Dew Waters Guest House in Buchi, for an extended period while she allegedly conducted a recruitment for workers for the Mines.
After many weeks, the owner realised that Mercy had no contract with the mines or its agencies, and no money to pay, she demanded that Mercy vacated the Guest House and settles the huge Bill.
Mercy fled but left her child as security phoning later that she would return to settle the bill and pick the child.
And Amanda Veach, owner of the Guest House in Buchi, Kitwe, confirmed that Mercy left the infant in 2016 and has never returned.
The Child, Chipego remains in Kitwe under the care of Mrs. Veatch.
Chipego, who will turn 6 years old in November 2021, is now called Chabupe (Gift) by the new guardians.
The family said Mercy had travelled to Kitwe because she was recruiting workers for the mines.
Mercy’s stay in Kitwe is traced to 2014 when she was pregnant with Chipego.
She disclosed to her Aunt that the teacher from Roan Antelope Secondary School (RASS) was responsible for the pregnancy.
But the teacher differed with Mercy over the age of the pregnancy.
Mercy later settled with a Police man from Kamfisa Training College.
The “marriage” didn’t last and Mercy left for Lusaka.
Its during this period, Mercy began to conduct the workers’ recruitment.
Kitwe Central Police Station investigated Mercy as she had collected money as registration fees from Lusaka and Kitwe youths, under the pretext that she was conducting recruitment to provide labour for the mines.
Mercy has recently been in the news alleging that she has 3 children with Kabushi MP, Hon. Bowman Lusambo.
She also says Lusambo is responsible for her current 8-month pregnancy.
Lusambo has denied ever meeting Mercy.
He says he has no knowledge of her or her children.
