Zambia’s President Edgar Lungu on Wednesday sacked his Education Minister David Mabumba.
Mabumba’s sacking was announced in a statement from Mr. Lungu’s spokesperson Isaac Chipampe.
No reason was given for the minister’s dismissal but it followed the circulation of a viral video of a man purported to him, seen naked and masturbating.

He has not commented on the sex videos as well as his dismissal on Wednesday.
It was earlier reported by some news portals that he had committed suicide but that has been denied by some of his relatives.
