MALAWI'S 🇲🇼 RASTA KIDS ‘UNBANNED’

Good news for Malawi's 🇲🇼 Rastafarian children, a ban on dreadlocks in school has been lifted, meaning over a thousand children entitled to free primary schooling will now be able to get it. Unfortunately, that’s little comfort to the children who have already lost out and now have limited opportunities - all because they stayed true to their religion, which says hair is sacred. Will the Malawi government now compensate or otherwise assist this lost generation? By recognising that the ban was unconstitutional, Malawi ought also to recognise that it owes these children, many grown up already, a helping hand.
