Ngoma revealed that she was tired of waiting and opted to sue her lover for not being serious about their future.

She said:

“He has never been serious, that is why I brought him to court because I deserve to know the way forward and our future.”

Ngoma said she doubted Hebert's loyalty after discovering he was texting another woman who she believes has something going on with her boyfriend.

In his defence, Hebert said he was not in the right financial position to afford a wedding and also blamed Ngoma for not giving him the needed attention.

The judge presiding the case advised both that reconciliation was the best way to go as there was no evidence of any marriage yet.
