Irene Kapenda was dragged to the civil court by Bertha Mutanda, who accused her of spreading malicious rumours.
“She is in the habit of telling people that I was caught sleeping with a leader of an apostolic sect in the bush,” she said.
“She is also saying that I am HIV-positive and even told some of my friends from church. She tells people that I spread HIV by sleeping with countless men.”
Mutanda accused her neighbour of insulting her deceased children in an hour-long rant.
“She insulted me for an hour and I did not respond. She even insulted my dead children. I am a sick person and I don’t want her abuse,” she said.
Kapenda did not oppose her neighbour’s application, but accused Mutanda of lying.
