Police in Zambia have summoned a man identified as George Bester, to appear for ”Investigations” after a video of him beating his son went viral.
The angry dad was seen in the video continuously slapping his son for failing major courses in school while passing music after he paid $21k (N8million) school fees.
In the video, which was probably recorded in some years back and recently surfaced online, the angry father is seen slapping the boy for wasting N8m school fees.
The father while slapping him, said: “I told you this is a scar on your entire life, do you know the reputation this gives you? You can’t read? You are a big boy you can’t read?
”You can’t read, don’t talk to me again’ That’s the result you bring to this house? Look at the result you brought? You idiot!”
The woman probably the mother who was recording the video can be heard begging the angry dad to stop beating the boy.
However, the man did not listen to reason as he replied her saying ”How can you say I should stop beating him, you know what this means..” while still slapping the boy.
See the video and some social media reactions;
If u watch the video.
He's surely a man that's not violent.
See the beating, he will stop & speak out his frustration & hit.He's just pained, which is normal.
If he had used that 21k USD to setup a biz or invested somewhere, it'd have turned out greatpic.twitter.com/5gFJfC5AzD— Professor Emeritus (@theDamorela) April 23, 2020

The man can scold his son all he wants the boy deserves it, forget the 21k USD he paid, the boy he can’t even get into any credible music school without Math and English
and It’s not like he even failed, he just didn’t show up.— Lamarr ❁ (@Kinglamarr___) April 22, 2020

I just finished telling my dad about the 21k USD gist and the first thing that man asked me is “is the son still alive”?.

While growing up, you’ll come home as second in class and your father will still ask “The person that took first, does he have two heads?”
Is that the kind of house you want to say you skipped Maths and English exams after paying 21k USD fees?

21K USD per term. He failed. Skipped classes. Had the effrontery to bring the result home, he didn't turn himself in at an orphanage home. He sat down majestically watching TV. But the father is not right beating him.
Na vibes and insha allahu full some of una head.

I remembered when my elder brother switched from Science to Art class in SS2. After the normal beating at home, my Dad came to our school and told the principal to repeat him. It was even public school Lol
You are here talking in the rubbish like 21K USD is a giveaway money.
