Mambezi who is reportedly a
top staff at a multi-national Telecommunications company in Zambia, responded
to ‘human rights activists’ who have been criticising him for ‘disciplining’
his son.
George Mambezi, the Kenyan
father who went viral for for beating up
his son who failed to sit for Maths and
English exams, scored poorly in other courses and got an ‘A’ grade in music
despite spending $21,000 on his school fees, has now responded to the criticism
he has been receiving online since the video resurfaced.
George, in a letter
addressed to a Zambian blog, said only he can decide how best to discipline his
son as he was brought up in the village and his Christian religion permits him
to discipline his child.
The man further said that
anyone who isn’t happy with the way he treated his son, should come and file
papers and adopt the young man and ”see if they will be happy after spending
$21,000 on his tuition only to see him singing.”
Posting on Facebook, George
Mambezi, who has since been called for questioning by Zambian police said;
”Dear Zambian Leaks.
I know your page is the
most happening and the most popular in Zambia at the moment so I would like to
address this issue on your platform for maximum audience.
First of all Bambino is my
son and I have the right to discipline him, am a staunch Christian and an
advocate for human rights.”
”In as much as I can slap
my son, it’s all because of love and me wanting the best for him.
I cannot kill him or feed
him snakes if he requested for fish. I grew up in the village and am one of the
few people that were privileged to acquire a sound education and I would want
to pass that legacy to the next generation.”
”The Bible clearly says
spare the rod spoil the child in Proverbs 13:24. I won’t let my child eat ma 2V
in the name of human rights therefore if you think I was wrong , go to the
relevant authorities and process the adoption papers for him.”
”Let’s see if you will be
happy seeing him walk in the streets singing for K2 like Fly Jay and Lawino
after spending $21,000 on tuition.”
