The church of controversial South African clergyman, Paseka Motsoeneng, popularly known as Pastor Mboro was set ablaze by angry school pupils in Katlehong.
This incident follows a video that surfaced on Monday, August 5, showing Motsoeneng swinging a knife at a local school.
Pastor Mboro, a controversial figure, claims he went to the school to rescue his son, who was allegedly being attacked by staff members while picking up his grandchildren. The video depicts him forcibly taking the crying and screaming children from the school in Katlehong.
The pupils, enraged by the incident, retaliated by targeting Mboro's church. The fire caused significant damage, and authorities are currently investigating the situation. This incident has escalated tensions in the community, highlighting the need for dialogue and resolution.
