“Some of the WhatsApp groups you have created and used as a platform to attack the reputation of our client include Winiko Mbava and Citizen Voice.
“We have further been informed that you added our client to these groups and you had the courage to add him back after he exited the groups.
“Your above conduct shows that you have clear intentions to injure the reputation of our client and indeed you have caused a great damage to his reputation and standing to all right-thinking members of the society,” reads part of the letter.
Apart from the K50 million, Kalindo is also demanding an apology from the woman on the WhatsApp groups ‘Winiko Mbava’ and ‘Citizens Voice’.
He also wants the woman to close the groups within 48 hours from from Wednesday, May 4.
