Singer Chameleone’s wife files for divorce

Daniella Atim, wife of musician Joseph Mayanja alias Jose Chameleone has asked a Ugandan  Magistrate's Court to annul her marriage on grounds of cruelty.  

She stated in her petition that Chameleone batters and tortures her and their four children.

According to the petition, the estranged couple wedded on June 7, 2008, at St. James Bbiina, Mutungo a Kampala suburb and they were blessed with four children during the subsistence of the marriage.

Atim stated that in 2013 Chameleone started physically torturing her and sometimes he would go home drunk and beat her up without any reason.

In order to hide the bruises and wounds on her face, she would allegedly go to hospitals for treatment, veil herself and sometimes run to her friends' homes to hide from her husband.

She revealed that the music maestro is ill-mannered and to protect herself from being killed, she has separated beds with him.

Atim said that Chameleone disrespects her before her children, is verbally abusive, constantly belittles her before them and physically abuses the children too.

She has asked court to dissolve her nine year old marriage and put a permanent injunction restraining him from ever coming close to her. She also wants Chameleone to pay for the costs of the suit.

Chameleone has been given 15 days to respond.
