A six-year-old boy with dreadlocks loses case

A six-year-old boy will be required to shave his dreadlocks if he is to resume his education at Rusinga School, a court has ruled.

The court said the school could not be compelled to take in a pupil who has dreadlocks for cosmetic purposes, which is against the school regulations. High Court Judge Mumbi Ngugi noted the boy’s mother had not convinced the court why he should maintain his hairdo.
