Malawi high court orders government to allow dreadlocks in school
A high court in Malawi has ordered the government to allow Rastafarian students with dreadlocks attend school.
Malawian media reported that, the temporary order was made while the court continues to hear the case filed by a schoolgirl who was denied admission to a primary school because of her dreadlocks.
The schoolgirl had been told to cut off her dreadlocks by the school’s management, according to newsmen.
The judge ordered the school to take in the schoolgirl and offer her extra classes to make up for the days she had missed before the final judgement was made.
Rastafarians in Malawi have been accusing the government of discrimination, according to newsmen.
In November 2018, they protested against the denial of admission to students with dreadlocks.
