A university in Mozambique’s northern Nampula province has banned workers, students and teachers from coming to the campus “improperly dressed.”
In a notice stuck on walls at Unizambeze university, administrators prohibit women from wearing:
Tight-fitting dresses
Miniskirts
Sleeveless tops
Cleavage-showing tops
See-through cloths
Slippers
Body tights
Ripped jeans and
Blouses showing bras.
It also bans men from wearing:
Vests
Shorts
Ripped jeans
Low-waist trousers and
Slippers and
Plaiting their hair.
Reaction to the ban has been mixed, but most people I spoke to said it was “appropriate for the African culture” and an “important rule to ensure decency in a learning institution.”
* The notice does not refer to dreadlocks, as we earlier reported.
