A Priest at St Faith Anglican Mission School in Rusape, on Monday, set dogs on parents for failing to pay their children’s school fees.
The video of the Priest, Taurai Mavhezha, working with hired security guards and dogs has gone viral on social media platforms.
Several parents and guardians are yet to pay fees which the mission school rely on for their day to day running.
Hired security guards were also reported to have released dogs to attack parents, guardians and students during the disturbance.
Fully clad in his priestly robes, Mavhezha boasted that he had the power to do whatever he wanted as he had the blessings of the church leaders.
A video clip shot at the school shows Mavhezha, security guards and the dogs manning the gate to prevent parents and students from entering the school.
The parents and guardians eventually overpowered the security guards and Mavhezha and drove their children into the school premises.
The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the use of force to collect fees and questioning the church’s priorities.
Some parents and guardians called for Mavhezha to be disciplined and for the church to revisit its approach to financing mission work.
One parent blasted Mavhezha and senior church leaders as greedy, selfish and pathetic for their unholy conduct which triggered the disturbances.
The Priest and the church leadership could not be reached for comment.
