Pastor Mboro, three others arrested for violence at Katlehong school
Four people were arrested on Monday after children were forcibly removed from Matshediso Primary School in Katlehong.
Pastor Mboro, real name Paseka Motsoeneng, and his security personnel were seen in a video wielding pangas and threatening to attack teachers on the school premises.
In the same video, another man is seen grabbing two pupils, who were caught in the violence, while another is wielding an assault rifle.
Gauteng police spokesperson Noxolo Khweza says the accused will appear before the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court soon.
"They are facing a variety of charges, including assault, handling a firearm recklessly that could endanger lives and property, rendering security services while not registered, malicious damage to property and intimidation.
"The replica firearm and the pangas have since been confiscated. One of the suspects was arrested for assaulting the station commander at Katlehong North police station when a group of people were demanding to deal with the local pastor outside the police station.”
The four will face charges of intimidation and violence when they line up in court.
