The order was given after a schoolgirl with dreadlocks was denied admission into a Malawian school because of her dreadlocks. A Malawian court ordered that Rastafarian students with dreadlocks be allowed to attend school.
OccupyGh.com has gathered that the case is ongoing. The schoolgirl had been told to cut off dreadlocks by the school’s management, according to the Nyasa Times news website.
The judge ordered the school to take in the schoolgirl and offer extra classes to make up for the days she missed before the final judgment is made.
Rastafarians in Malawi have been accusing the government of discrimination, according to The Nation newspaper.
In November 2018, they protested against the denial of admission to dread-locked students.
