A PORNOGRAPHIC video showing a popular Lusaka musician and a female that has now gone viral on the internet is yet another sad incident that needs to be condemned strongly, especially that such videos are now becoming a norm.
This not only shows the moral degradation levels in our society but brings shame not only to the affected persons and their families but the nation at large. Zambia is a Christian Nation and filming and circulating of such materials is against the Christian values.
Such conduct should therefore be curbed at all costs and culprits punished to preserve our good Christian values.
Several pornographic videos involving young lovers have found themselves on the internet and this is posing a serious moral danger to admirers of such individuals and society at large. This threat to morality should be tamed before the situation gets out of hand.
Several Bible verses among them 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, speak out against pornography stating that “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body”.
Research indicates that by far, the most searched for terms on the internet are related to pornography. Pornography is rampant in the world today.
Perhaps more than anything else, the research states that evil has succeeded in twisting and perverting sex. The Devil has taken what is good and right (loving sex between a husband and wife) and replaced it with lust, pornography, adultery, rape, and homosexuality.
Pornography can be the first step on a very slippery slope of ever-increasing wickedness and immorality – Romans 6:19.
The addictive nature of pornography is well documented. Just as a drug user must consume greater and more powerful quantities of drugs to achieve the same “high,” pornography drags a person deeper and deeper into hard-core sexual addictions and ungodly desires.
Police in Lusaka are currently investigating this matter.
Zambia Police deputy spokesperson Rae Hamoonga warned that people that are in the habit of making, posting and distributing nude pictures or videos that under the Zambian law are illegal,  can be sent to  prison. Producing pornographic material is against the laws of Zambia and carries a stiff penalty of not less than 10 years in jail.
Recently, another pornographic video went viral on the internet showing a young woman stripped naked and humiliated before the cameras as punishment for allegedly having sexual relations with a married man.
Despite the motive of such video postings on the internet, it does not help, to bury heads in the sand and let this situation continue.
Stakeholders among them the Church should take a strong stance to condemn such behaviour and reach out to the masses through their platforms to condemn such conduct.
Those who indulge in such acts should know that breaking the law does not go without punishment and as such, the penalty for such crimes should be stiffened to deter would-be offenders.
The country is already grappling with problems of defilement, wife battering and other gender based violence (GBV) related issues, hence the need to seriously deal with the issue of phonographic videos being circulated on the internet.
This conduct should be fought with the urgency and determination it deserves once and for all to prevent further moral decadence in our society.
