Former Religious Minister and Member of the Central Committee for the opposition ruling party Rev. Godfridah Sumaili that the widely circulated obscene material now prevalent on social media allegedly involving a senior government official requires an immediate investigation to establish the facts and bring it to an acceptable closure.
In a statement released to the media, Rev Sumaili said that it is important that the President of the Republic of Zambia, who is the appointing authority, suspends the officer involved in the matter, to pave way for an investigation to establish the truth.
Rev. Sumaili further expressed concern that some women are circulating material on social-media that demean themselves and are producing and promoting pornographic and immoral material and appealed to the women to avoid producing material even for private or personal use as this is likely going to leak and cause public embarrassment, especially for the womenfolk.
“The continued degradation of morals is unacceptable and must be treated as an emergency by stakeholders such as the Church.
The Church is the salt of the earth, conscious of society and the heartbeat of morality, ” she said.
Rev. Sumaili said that as Zambians we should ensure that the use of social-media platforms is not abused but used for good causes, adding that it should be noted that this matter borders on the Constitution of Zambia.
The former minister concluded by saying that the Constitution provides for national values and principles, and morality and ethics are some of the values and as a Christian Nation, all Zambians have a duty to promote and uphold Christian values, and our tradition and culture.
Meanwhile, Zambia Police Service has said that it is concerned with the circulation of pornographic videos that has gone viral on WhatsApp groups and other social media platforms.
In a statement released to the media, Zambia Police has warned members of the general public that such acts as Publication, circulating, offering, possession and solicitation of Obscene material which includes nude and all pornographic content of adults and/or minors is an offence under Section 177 of the Penal Code Act Chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia as well as under Section 56 of the Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Act No.2 of 2021.
Accoirding to Zambia POlice Spokesperson,Rae Hamoonga, Zambia Police has instituted investigations to find the persons circulating the said videos and as well as to establish the authenticity of the videos.
“Zambia Police Service is therefore urging the general public to desist henceforth from circulating Obscene materials as doing so does constitute an offence and is prosecutable under the laws of this country, ” concluded the statement
Hypocrite of a woman! only comments when her interests are not at stake.
This Godfridah lady anything to do with chowing her ears go up. I’m now suspecting something too much interest in such topics. Is this not the lady who told us and I quote “Jesus has entered the boat”. God taught you a lesson 12 August but even after such a thumping you still using God’s name in vain, the other day the other one instead of just answering about her flats she starts telling us about God of Abraham. Repent 1st then call on God otherwise more hard lessons are coming as you continue to play with the Lord’s name.
Some people only re-surface when there is a s*x scandal. Is it an obsession?
Finish arrangements to build the Batoka gorge dam. Clearly energy demand in the region will end up being our biggest export driver even exceeding the mines. This means borrowing, go ahead and do it as the biggest legacy you will leave. As it is everyone knows everything else you are commissioning is ECL’s legacy. Let this big project be yours. So please talk to the Chinese and convince your western allies that this makes sense because it is green energy which they are so intent on due to this new world order mantra of climate change. Let it not be said we did not help you succeed by wishing you well and giving constructive criticism and advice.
Hh cannot do anything. His hands are tied because she gave some sex favours to him to get that job
That’s so shallow of you to think in that way, so when she was working under the previous government who did she give the same sexual favor to get the job?
ibwa iwe. on Iris kaingu dressing inappropriate you supported her was it because she is in entertainment? playing double standards wont save PF and Mary Chirwa having worked under PF knows which buttons to press thats why you guys are afraid of her. more beans is going to be spilled.
THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE AN OPPOSTION TACTIC
THEY ARE FAILING TO MAKE HEADWAY SO THEY REVERTING TO THIS
PROOF WILL SOON EMERGE THAT IT IS NOT HER
WHAT ABOUT THE SIEZURE OF THE FLATS WHY IS THAT NOT A DISCUSSION
With all the scandles and barbarity in the lungu regime , she was silent …….
Receiving brown envelopes, now she talks………….????
Hypocrite of a reverend minister ………
There is nothing immoral about s3x. The immoral person here is the one who posted the video. The police must find that person. Many people do record their acts with their lovers and even with spouses so what is immora about that?
Very strange hw some pipo lack a sense of shame. That message is coming frm this woman surely? She never asked for mabumba to resign. And yet she knows too well that the chirwa clip is fake and she thinks she can gain political milage out of it.shes a real heap of cow d…g.
Zambia police force. Instead of dealing with the root cause they rush to deal with the leaves.
Hypocrite!!! When you were Religious Affairs minister you didn’t call for the suspension of Mabumba and Sichalwe. You actually defended them. This is taking Zambians for granted
HH really doesn’t need to do anything its up to MC to search her soul… if she isn’t the one in the videos then she should inform the nation she isn’t the person in the clips….if she is ? Integrity and being a role model with a special award to her name requires she owns up and steps aside. Yes it will be a sad day and a heavy day but she owes it to herself, to the nation and to the appointing authority to apologize and step out of the limelight. Imagine going forward if she does neither that each time she stands up to address the nation…I leave it to your imagination. Lastly if it be her I can not imagine what possessed the person who circulated them.
We the praise singers stand with you Mary Chirwa. Don’t relent in the fight against corruption and the criminals. PF was a criminal enterprise.This is meant to derail you. The path towards success is always rough and unpleasant
Stop attacking he, she has made a valid point. Unfortunately if there’s any truth to the video this is what is called for. We don’t judge because we are all sinners, some of us did worse before video was made widespread to record our Shame. But the law is the law, it doesn’t show preference to the haves. They are subject to it just as the have nots, especially if one is a public servant. Unfortunately.
Biggest let down in Zambian politics, this reverend minister, useless chap.
This holier-than-thou woman…she probably has some videos of herself fondling her vajaja too…..hypocrisy and yet she’s known to have bedded some young fellows..
I BLAME THE PEOPLE WHO EVEN BOTHER TO GIVE THIS USELESS WOMAN AUDIENCE. GODFRIDAH GET A LIFE- DONT INVOLVE GOD IN YOUR STUPID AND SELF SERVING ANTICS
Awe ba mayo ba Sumaili, such levels of hypocrisy are what has caused the Christian community to be seen to be biased and fake. You are quick to call for removal of this woman from her position without investigation. You were religious minister when ministers, abused office and stole but you kept quiet as if all was well *Hypocrisy 101*. Mabumba is still out there and to date you never called for his removal! Awe twakana. Let this diligent woman do her job.
# find the ***** that circulated private material for public show!
Imwe ba PF naked women don’t drop the value of the Kwacha. Nor do they cause unemployment or raise inflation. Why do u only take more interest in sex?
No need of saying fire her it is just logic that she resigns on moral grounds before the axe fall on her,this is very embalancing and a disgrace but why of all the things kkkkkkkk pa zed napo.
In as much as I agree that Mary chirwa should resign or be fired sumaili should be the last person to demand as she never resigned when people were saying she was a waste of taxpayers money and irrelevant neither did she ask for PF officials found wanting to resign.
If hell and heaven are physical and then you arrive there after dying, if you see Godfridah in the crowd just know you are in hell, this woman is so evil, opportunistic and a fake Pastor, she is not in any moral position to say what is she is saying, she wicked. She never condemned any atrocities committed by the criminal and Gangster Pf e.g the corrupt procurement of fire tenders, Mabumba, Sichalwe or on the female UPND Youth who was undressed by Pf thugs in front of vice President Inonge Wina during a Youth day march past. This woman is a definition of what is wrong with our politics.
on mr mabumba she was very very very quiet.
