A viral video showing Pastor Mb*ro and his accomplices storming a school in Kathlehog and intimidating students sparked outrage, leading a group of community members to vandalise his church, Incredible Happenings.
Despite the nearby police station, authorities failed to respond to the scene. Pastor Mb*ro and three others are now in custody, facing charges of ass@ult, property damage, and intimidation.
The controversy began when videos circulated on social media, showing the men forcibly removing two distressed children from the school, brandishing weapons and thre@tening bystanders.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with Gauteng police commissioner Tommy Mthombeni acknowledging the chaos at Matsediso Primary School.

“As for now, four people have since been arrested and are now in custody. And those items that were used in the videos have since been confiscated by the police.
“The charges differ based on the commissions of the crime; there are ass@ult charges and intimidation charges. Mainly those charges and to a certain extent malicious damage to property,” said Mthombeni.
