The Zambia Police Service has summoned George Bester, a man seen in a video making rounds on social media slapping his son, for allegedly producing poor school results.

In the said video, Bester is seen slapping the boy, while complaining about the money he has spent on the boy for school books and tuition fees.

A voice of a woman, believed to be his wife, is heard pleading with Bester to stop beating the boy.

According to a call-out, Bester was required to report to the Child Protection Unit offices at the Ministry of Community Development for purposes of inquiries.

Police, however, assured him that he would not be detained more than was necessary.
