A learner at Chogugudza Primary School in Domboshawa who was suspended for wearing long hair to school has been readmitted after successfully challenging the school with the assistance of rights lawyers. The 12-year-old girl was barred from school on January 9 last year because she had refused to shave her hair per her family’s religious beliefs.


This was despite that she was preparing for her Grade Seven final examinations. Following her expulsion, the learner’s guardians engaged the Zimbabwe Human Rights Lawyers (ZLHR) who took the matter up.Source- New Zimbabwe.com
