The Lusaka High Court has granted the couple divorce, and has since made the decree nisi absolute, according to court documents obtained by Kalemba.
On December 13, 2014, Sikainda and the gospel artist solemnized their marriage at Mount Zion Christian Center in Lusaka.
The couple had been having irreconcilable differences, such that the journalist’s knees buckled in trying to hold the union together, prompting her to sing goodbye to Nyirenda.
Sikainda filed a divorce petition on September 12, 2022 pursuant to Section 8 and
(1)(b) of the Matrimonial Causes Act No. 20 of 2007 of the Laws of Zambia seeking dissolution of her 10-year marriage to the singer
Family and Children’s Court judge in charge Mwamba Chanda on September 26, 2024 granted Sikainda’s prayer and cut her loose from Nyirenda.
She decreed that the said marriage be dissolved; and gave the couple six weeks to decide if it really wanted to proceed with the divorce or had a change of mind, before the decree could not be made absolute.
With Sikainda having made it clear that she wanted to be freed from her husband, judge Chanda on January 24, 2025 pronounced that: the parties having not given their decision to part ways, a second thought, the decree nisi was final and absolute, and freed them both.
Judge Chanda referred property settlement to mediation.

Bad for her. BUT Nathan was TOO OLD Penipher
Anderson a bad thing it is.Dont bring age difference in the two.Or you mean they could not get along because the wife was too young.So she will find her age mate?
Let us discourage divorce in the young marriages.Dont be rushing for these things young people.Talk to elders first, they sit you down before you inconvenience yourselves and your children.Why did you agree to marry in the first place and decide to divorce early? The homework was not done well.Dont buy a car which you can’t maintain.Some cars require serious maintenance and are expensive.Other cars are fair where maintenance is concerned.But why compare to cars? It’s about necessity to each other.That institution is not for competitors but for people with patience and forgiveness and with big heart.Young people are busy divorcing, the church and village elders help.
Mr. Nathan Nyirenda should find someone older and not babies for a wife. This is the problem of marrying in the evening years, you become to serious and focussed from day one and forgetting to be romantic
