Relying to one social media user, Nick Mangwana said he has a problem with the headmaster’s conduct;
“Personally I have (a problem with this), Mhofu. It’s called hair vandalism and I detest all vandalism.
” So if a learner comes to school with a wrong piece of garment, does the headmaster take a pair of Scissors and rip it apart or mutilate it? It’s not right. He could have sent them home without making them wear silly hairstyles the whole day.” said Mangwana.

“Hair style does not promote good learning ” how? These old madalas should move with the times. What’s wrong with neat plaited hair? You will find that even laptops and phones are not allowed at this school, at this day and age.”

“This is unacceptable! The school should find ways of communicating with the parents!”
Others are of the view that schools that allow hair do exist in the country.
