In a statement, the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) warned Zambians against circulating the immoral videos in which some media personalities and two athletes feature, stating that those who decide to do otherwise, shall face the full wrath of the law.

The whole month of July came with its own dramatic events, following the leaking of an indecent video featuring ‘mouth watering’ social media model, Mwaka Halwiindi and her overflowing bedroomed teacher, David Kazadi.

In the first leaked video, Mwaka who could do well as an ambassador for the WhatsApp view once feature, was seen ferociously demolishing a stiff human millipede of her English infused customer with her mouth.

A few days after the leaking of the ‘mouthy video,’ the queen of lollipops continued to trend like cholera in the rain season after she was filmed riding and pouncing on an Odugu kingdom forest 27 weapon.

Last week, two dry manzi lesbians, Rhodah Njovu and Katundu Lumweka trended for going against the teachings of the Bible with regard to sexual relations and filming of their unnatural act with each other.

In the videos, Rhodah played as the artificial man by installing a man made banana into Lumweka’s driest Atacama desert.

After several warnings from the police, ZICTA weighed in, stating that the circulation of the obscene videos constituted a misuse of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and posed a direct threat to the country’s national values and principles.

The authority’s manager Corporate Communications, Handford Chaaba stated that the publishing and transmitting of such videos was a criminal offence under the Cyber Crimes Act No. 4 of 2025.

Chaaba said a person found guilty of such an offence was liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding K60,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or to both.

“ZICTA therefore, urges all citizens to exercise responsible behaviour online and refrain from publishing or transmitting electronic data that is obscene, vulgar, lewd,lascivious or indecent.”

“In addition to complying with the law, this is vital for preserving the moral integrity of our communities and protecting especially vulnerable groups,including children and youths, from harmful online exposure,” he said.

The authority further stated that it remained committed to working with other government agencies, law enforcement agencies and all stakeholders to promote responsible use of ICTs, enforce the relevant legal provisions and safeguard citizens from online abuse.

“ZICTA reminds members of the public that the use of a computer or computer system to publish or transmit electronic data that is obscene, vulgar, lewd, lascivious or indecent with intent to humiliate, harass or cause substantial emotional distress to another person; or to repeatedly send such data with similar intent to the detriment of another person’s emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, or reputation is a criminal offence under the Cyber Crimes Act No. 4 of 2025,” said Chaaba.
