According to media reports , Mr. Sichalwe claims to have mistakenly posted the video.

But Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo is of the view that whether Mr. Sichalwe posted the video by mistake or not , he committed an offence of being in possession of pornographic material.

She says there is no way a video can be shared if he wasn’t in possession of it.

She says since the law is not segregative , Mr. Sichalwe may be prosecuted even if he is a minister.
