Man who abandoned wife and his 4 children returns after 34yrs

A man who abandoned his family 34 years ago has returned to reunite with his first wife and children. 

The incident took place in Kimwanda village, Congo, where Joseph Andima originally left his home in 1990 in search of better opportunities, leaving behind his wife and their four children. 

His family, deeply concerned, launched an extensive search, even visiting hospitals and morgues, but eventually assumed he had passed away and mourned his loss.

Now 65, Joseph has returned, currently residing in Kabartonjo, Baringo County, where he started a new family and raised five children with another woman.

Accepting him back, his first wife, Esther said: “It has been a difficult period fending for our kids. Feeding and educating them singlehandedly without my partner was a challenge,” Esther shared, expressing both relief and happiness at her husband’s return.
