Pastor Mboro’s church set alight after school skirmish

Four people were arrested on Monday evening for violence when two pupils, believed to be Mboro’s grandchildren, were forcibly removed from a school in Katlehong.

He is involved in a dispute about maintenance and custody of the children after the death of their mother. 

In a video that went viral, Mboro, accompanied by other men and a bodyguard armed with what is believed to be a replica rifle, is seen intimidating and harassing teachers.

Mboro was also seen charging with a panga at staff members who had tried to stop him and those who were filming him.   

The suspects face charges of assault, handling a firearm recklessly that could endanger lives and property, rendering security services while not registered, malicious damage to property and intimidation.
