Muntu party president, Stephen Nyirenda, has taken his ex-wife, Lesa Kasoma, to court, alleging forgery and seeking to reclaim a 60 percent stake in Komboni Radio.
Nyirenda accused Kasoma of altering the company’s bank account signatories and unilaterally transferring shares, in direct violation of their 2012 agreement.
Filed in the Lusaka High Court, Nyirenda’s suit demands Kasoma return his shareholding in Komboni Investments Ltd.
He is also calling for a full financial audit of the company since inception, arguing that this aligned with their initial contractual terms.
The origins of the dispute trace back to a written agreement from September 2012, which allocated Nyirenda 60 percent ownership in the company.
He claimed to have invested substantial funds to support the station’s operations and was a signatory to the company’s bank account.

However, he alleged Kasoma, with the assistance of Disymus Mubanga, forged his signature to amend the account signatories without his knowledge.
Upon discovering unauthorized withdrawals, Nyirenda reported the issue to the Bank of Zambia, leading to a criminal complaint against Cavmont Bank Zambia and subsequent banking transfers to Access Bank Ltd.
A PACRA search revealed that Kasoma now holds 90 percent of the shares, with Lute Kasoma holding the remaining 10 percent, which Nyirenda claims violates their agreement.
Having failed in his attempts to resolve the matter privately, Nyirenda is now urging the court to enforce their original contract terms or seek damages for financial losses incurred.
