Zambian Sprinter Caught in Shocking Viral Sex Tape Scandal

The two ladies are under investigation after a viral explicit video surfaced, prompting disciplinary action and public outrage over morality concerns.

Zambian 200m sprint queen Rhoda Njobvu has found herself at the heart of a national scandal after an explicit video allegedly featuring her and another woman surfaced online.

The leaked footage, which has gone viral across social media platforms, purportedly shows the renowned athlete—who also serves as a sergeant in the Zambia National Service (ZNS)—engaged in a sexual act with another woman believed to be a Zambia Correctional Service officer.

The incident has triggered disciplinary actions within the military ranks, an ongoing criminal investigation by the Zambia Police, and public statements from multiple institutions tasked with upholding morality and professionalism as per Mwebantu.

“We have come across a video that is circulating on some social media platforms depicting one of our sponsored athletes, Sergeant Rhoda Njobvu, engaging in an obscene and indecent act with another woman. Not only are we disappointed as an institution, but we are also deeply abhorred by this kind of behaviour, which is at variance with the core values that the institution is anchored on,” said ZNS Chief of Public Relations, Brigadier General Mable Nyone.

ZNS Reacts with Disciplinary Action

Brigadier General Nyone confirmed that internal disciplinary proceedings against Njobvu have been instituted, emphasizing that the ZNS strongly distances itself from any conduct that undermines its ethical foundations.

“The Service is built on the values of morality and ethics, and as a government wing, it is guided by constitutional provisions, including the promotion of national values and ethics,” she stated.

She went on to issue a stern warning to other ZNS personnel, saying any conduct that tarnishes the institution’s image would face the “full force of disciplinary action.”

“To this effect, ZNS wishes to reaffirm its commitment to the nation that it will continue to serve with integrity and uphold national values and principles,” she added.

Police and Athletics Body Launch Investigations

Meanwhile, the Zambia Police Service has launched a formal investigation into the video’s origin, content, and distribution. Authorities have cautioned the public against circulating the explicit material, warning of possible prosecution.

“We urge the general public to refrain from circulating or downloading such material. Any person found in breach of the law will be dealt with accordingly,” said Police Public Relations Officer Rae Hamoonga.

Citing Section 177 of the Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia, Hamoonga stated that the creation and sharing of obscene content is a criminal offence.

“The Zambia Police remains committed to upholding public morality, enforcing the law, and protecting the dignity of all individuals,” he added.

In a parallel development, Zambia Athletics (ZA), the national athletics governing body, has formed a three-member committee to verify the authenticity of the footage and establish the circumstances behind its release.

“As an institution founded on the principles of professionalism, discipline, and national pride, we have launched an internal process to verify the facts and engage the relevant parties involved,” said ZA President Bernard Bwalya.

He urged the public to exercise restraint during the investigation. “We have taken note of the viral content but ask for patience as investigations proceed.”

The case has sparked broader national conversations about morality, digital privacy, and the responsibilities of public figures in Zambia.
