A major scandal has erupted in Zambia’s entertainment industry after the circulation of an explicit video allegedly featuring popular actress and influencer Mwaka Halwiindi.
The controversy has led to the arrest of filmmaker David Kazadi, who is also the former CEO of Hot FM Zambia. Kazadi has reportedly been dismissed from his post following the incident.
The leaked video, which has gone viral on social media, allegedly shows Halwiindi in a compromising situation with a man now believed to be Kazadi. The footage has triggered widespread outrage and debate about professional conduct, abuse of power, and consent in the entertainment industry.
Insiders say Kazadi’s termination was linked to internal investigations suggesting that he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate, breaching company policies and raising ethical concerns.
Kazadi has yet to issue a public statement, while Halwiindi has remained silent as social media continues to speculate about the circumstances surrounding the video.
Legal experts say Kazadi could face charges under Zambia’s Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Act, which criminalizes the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
The case has reignited conversations about workplace misconduct, the exploitation of young talent in the entertainment sector, and the urgent need for better safeguards within media institutions.
More details are expected as authorities continue to investigate the matter.
