Zambian father videoed slapping son for failing after paying $21k fees [VIDEO]
A video has surfaced online showing a man giving his son multiple slaps after the boy failed in school despite the $21,000 tuition fees the man paid in the American International School of Lusaka, Zambia.
The boy failed to sit for English and Mathematics, failed other subjects but had a distinction in Music.
In the video which was probably recorded in 2018 and recently surfaced, the angry father is seen beating the boy while scolding him.
”I told you this is a scar on your entire life, do you know the reputation this gives you? You can’t read? You are a big boy you can’t read?’ The father said.
A woman was recording the episode while begging the father to stop beating the boy, but the man faced her and said ”How can you say I should stop beating him, you know what this means..”
After answering the said woman, he then slapped the boy again and said ”You can’t read, don’t talk to me again’ That’s the result you bring to this house? Look at the result you brought? You idiot!

According to news reports, Police in Zambia summoned the father identified as George Bester, for ”questioning” on April 20, 2020, after the video went viral online.
Social media users have been reacting to the video, with some siding the father while others say he should just support his child’s music career.
