A Zambian dad identified as George Bester has been summoned by the Police in Zambia to appear for ‘Investigations’ after a video of him beating his son surfaced online.
In the now viral video, George Bester was seen continuously slapping his son for failing major courses in school while passing music after he paid $21k (N8million) 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;

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.

Everyone is concerned about the 21K USD that the man paid and the boy’s failure to show up on exams days while y’all ignoring the fact that a woman filmed the man scolding his son,took a picture of the son’s result and let everything get to social media. Women will embarrass you

My father will pay 21k USD and I'll miss exam?
Lmaooo, I remember one time I decided not to write ordinary Sunday school exam at teens church and I eventually got beaten by my dad.
It was that day I knew Salvation isn't personal in an African home😭💔

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.
