A controversial South African preacher known as Pastor Mboro found himself at the center of a firestorm after allegedly brandishing machetes at a primary school. The incident, captured on video, showed the pastor and an associate, who carried what was later identified as a replica firearm, forcibly removing his grandchildren from the school.
The situation quickly escalated, with angry schoolchildren reportedly setting fire to Pastor Mboro’s Incredible Happenings Church the following day. The church, housed in a marquee tent, was engulfed in flames as pupils in school uniforms fled the scene.
Authorities revealed that the children at the center of the controversy are involved in a custody dispute following their mother’s death. The incident at the school led to five arrests, with charges including assault, intimidation, and property damage.
Pastor Mboro, whose real name is Paseka Motsoeneng, is a self-proclaimed prophet with a large following community in South Africa. Known for his outlandish claims of performing miracles, this latest incident has drawn sharp criticism from government officials, including the education minister, who condemned the attack on the school and its staff.
As the community grapples with the aftermath, questions remain about the pastor’s fate and the long-term implications of this dramatic turn of events.
