Zambia Police says it is investigating Former Education Minister’s Sex Scandal

Share

The Zambia Police says it is investigating the matter involving the production of a pornographic video that has gone viral, where former General Education Minister David Mabumba is allegedly appearing.

Police spokesperson Esther Katongo said that people circulating the video are also being investigated.

Mrs. Katongo told ZNBC news in Lusaka that the police will only give further details when the investigations are concluded.

Mr. Mabumba was fired as Minister of Education yesterday after a video emerged on the internet showing him in an uncompromising position. prompting National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister Godfridah Sumaili to urge the public to stop circulating the video, saying that it was unethical and immoral for people to continue circulating the video.

The Religious Minister further appealed to parents to delete naked videos from their phones, saying they can be very damaging to ones reputation once they leak to the public.

Rev Sumaili further said that General Education Minister David Mabumba is a family man, and whoever played a role in leaking his obscene video is wicked.

Mr. Mabumba becomes the second PF Minister to be embroid in controversy, after the current Minister of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Lawrence Sichalwe was alleged to have posted a pornographic video in a WhatsApp group, and
Zambia Police said Mr Sichalwe committed an offence of being in possession of a pornographic video by virtue of him sharing it.

Mr Sichalwe said that he had had mistakenly posted the video, but Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo was of the view that whether Mr. Sichalwe posted the video by mistake or not, he had committed an offence of being in possession of pornographic material, adding that there was no way a video can be shared if he wasn’t in possession of it.

Mrs Katongo further said that since the law is not segregative, Mr. Sichalwe may be prosecuted even if he is a minister.

Police are still investing Mr to this day Investigating Mr. Sichalwe’s case

  1. Thanks zp we have too many childish people in Zambia.most of these have done worse it’s just we don’t yet have videos of them. In other positive developments, I got a call from my brother lusambo who confirmed that he has been discharged. Good to see a recovery.

  2. So sichalwe is free despite being the producer and distributor of the video in which he was the lead actor. Why waste time on this case? What determines distribution? This guy was happy to be filmed and for goodness sake he is an adult. He is neither vulnerable nor mentally challenged. He occupied a decision making post. He chose to be part of this life changing event. He should deal with it.

  3. Its really sad and disappointing for someone to post such a video. The actor did not commit a crime by doing what he was doing it was only sad that it leaked to every one who actually knows what he was doing.

  4. Up to now no one is arrested? We thought ZP stopped waiting for instructions from PF?
    They have to arrest at least 200 people by now. And death sentence to the girl.
    That blackmailed b!tch and her con boyfriend should be sentenced using Bill-10 which call for stoning!!

    We were then told Pf0lice are investigating the P.F gass!ng General – cde Sp@x Chimbwendembwende. Mpaka lelo zero!
    We are now told Pf0lice are investigating T@s!la. We know mpaka August 2021 there will be nothing! These are dockets that will be open when the incoming regime takes office in September 2021.

  7. As well they might but why’s Sichalwe not facing the same? Mabumba has been dismissed from cabinet and is also to face a police probe. Sichalwe has kept his job and faces no police probe. Wht kind of double standards is that? Anyway, sometimes I do forget we aren’t a normal country.

  8. The best ZP should is to keep their beaks shut. We had enough of that shi.t before and we do not want to go that way. Mama Simaili must also check her relevance in government. She must stop abusing the bible. If she is comfortable with umukulu uku vononyena abana ubwanba that is okay with her. We will not cheapen ourselves to that level.

  9. Mabumba has already been punished through dismissal, let’s just pray for the man. His only crime was to be exposed while thousands with wosre crimes are still not exposed.

  10. If so many imbeciles including Sumaili reckon this reckless minister did not commit a crime, then Iris Kaingu should seek a refund because she was also acting privately by Jen someone leaked the video. Copulating is usually private unless you are a domesticated or wild animal.

  11. Reinstate the Minister and arrest the persons distributing this. Minister is a victim of a breach of his privacy unless he circulated it himself.

    Let’s not be stone age. If this is sanctioned by the removal of the Minister, then it will make all ministers targets for mischief makers. We can remove the whole cabinet this way! It’s important to protect public figures from malice. It’s so unfair. Poor man standing there in his Bamba….. and someone papps him.

    Er…. which website is this on…..? :-))

  12. I am shocked to read that the majority of diasporan and upnd men have watched this said video. I for one have no interest in watching another man’s private. I guess the rumours of upnd being pro gay is true.

  14. I wish this is how we react and tackle corruption,theft,banditary and nepotism….am telling you Zambia would be the Dubai of Africa…am still wondering what crime did Mabumba commit..as compared to Chitalu Chilufya or Chitotela or Kampyongo…so in Zambia being naked in your own house,private place is a crime….and stealing tax payers money is holy….

  15. I think the LAW here needs to be fine tuned the culprit is the personal that shared it and is distributing the video. This was an intimate matter between two adults a lot of things happen behind closed doors some make even more graphic video that it could win an oscar unlike whatever this video was since i have not seen it lol.
    I believe our MPs should table a motion to look at who is penalised here (make amendments) because ie Sichalwe is in this case more guilty than The edu minister but on moral grounds and public interest yes should have been given the opportunity to resign/step down.
    We need a clear definition of distributors, makers and victims of which Mr Mabumba is a victim in this case of blackmail.

  16. If President Lungu did take a shower this morning so he committed a crime if someone recorded him cleaning his balls….Zambians are very petty….

  17. @mukame, are you having a laugh? Hardworking has nothing to do with nocturnal activities. At night he was working hard to make his todger hard, see the irony?

  18. If President Lungu did take a shower this morning so he committed a crime if someone recorded him cleaning his balls….Zambians are very petty….everyone acting like they’ve never seen a diik before…these things are all over the internet….and self love in no crime…the person who committed crime is that makaka stinky chinyoooo hulee who recorded Mabumba

    I haven’t watched the video…but heard about it from the internet grapevines…..am glad you have morals…but tell your home-based Zambians to tackle corruption and public services theft in the same way they’re dealing with Mabumba

  20. When you have Christian zealots with limited knowledge of Christianity, you end up with such a mess. Taking things literally from the Bible is risky business. If you take the sin of Onan, then this minister should be sentenced to death. The minister of religion is all over the show, telling people to delete naked videos, do all Zambians shoot videos when they copulate?

  21. The former minister has been a very careless and a playboy while pretending to be something else to the citizenry. Imagine these are the people masquerading as leaders of our beautiful country. How can a so called get to this extent, why has the man not even already resigned from parley on moral grounds? Ubwamba fye ukukuletelela wemukalamba sure!

  22. Nothing will happen to mabumba he will be under investigation forever without progress or arrest but the whistle-blower who made us know the true nature of mabumba without which we would still be thinking he is a Saint, a family man good enough to be our leader, will be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law just to teach other whistle-blowers not to reveal such misgivings of leaders.

  23. National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister Godfridah Sumaili is so irrelevant …these are the Christians for Lungu the worst people you can ever have close to you as advisers hypocrite to the bone…even that moron Seer1 is right about her!!

  24. I have a geniune question for diasporans, especially tarino. You criticize the government of the day all day and night. You claim we are thieves and all sorts of evils. Since you think this way, please answer these questions:

    1. What do you think is the alternative to our government which you think would do things according to your standards?
    2. Name the party you believe would do a better job than us.

    You talk all day but we never hear your alternative parties of support. What do you want? Because we know it’s not pf.so tell us now. I give you 24 hours.

    Kind regards,

    Kaizar

  27. Religious Minister further appealed to parents to delete naked videos from their phones, But its their private phones. Is the Minister saying people shouldn’t walk naked in their bedrooms in case there’s a peeping Tom? Are we gonna arrest the peeping Tom and those in the bedroom?

  28. Iwe Ka Kaiser Zulu. UPND is the party in waiting and is coming to squeeze you and your out going party with masturbating norms in leadership. Imagine a well respected minister ponyoponyo

  29. Mulenga- he broke the law whether he got the sack or not….do you think if that was a college student you think he would sleeping in his house? Plus the moron is still an MP.

  30. Who is wrong and how are they wrong?
    Minister is wrong for using social media to record prohibited content and share it. The one who uploaded it is also wrong for uploading prohibited content. For those who are saying the minister is not wrong, how did the person who uploaded the video acquire the video? They didn’t get it from his phone, he personally sent it (shared) to his girlfriend big mistake. Recording, sharing prohibited content is a crime. Arrest the minister and the one who uploaded and those who distributed prohibited content

  31. I dont know why bloggers on LT are giving this riff raff , jobless, visionless, and childish kz needless attention. I hear he is now employed by LT as the new mushota. This is why he blogs 24/7.

  34. IT IS THE QUESTION OF MORALS. IF MABUMBA DID IT WITH OR TO HIS WIFE, NO PROBLEM. BUT TO A WHORE OR WITH A PROSTITUTE, AWAY FROM HOME. THAT MAKES IT IMMORAL AND THUS UNDESIRABLE.

  35. There are more pressing matters to address, those Pot holed roads wont repair themselves by rumour mongering and gossiping, our country remains in a deplorable state let’s focus on issues that matter. Mabumba case is a non issue, Police shouldn’t waste resources on something as silly as this. Police have more important matters to deal with such as GBV, armed robberies, murders, rape cases, defilement, theft etc etc

  36. Very sad that a wank in private cost this guy his ministerial position. Sumaili should also be fired because once again she has demonstrated how useless her portfolio is, being more Affairs than Religion. National Guidance only happens when getting people into stadiums every October 18.
