This was said by Minister of Civic Education and National Unity Timothy Mtambo after meeting PAC officials.

Some months ago, tension sparked in some parts of the country such as Balaka and Machinga districts in which Muslim’ girls were not allowed to wear Hijaabs in schools.

But Minister Mtambo said during the meeting he had with the quasi religious group , PAC raised an issue of Hijabs in public and private schools, in which Muslim girls are prohibited from wearing them.

“The Muslim community argues that wearing of hijabs is part of the Muslim culture for ladies and an inclusive society must not segregate against the culture. PAC appealed to the Ministry to be at the center stage in protecting the space for all citizens to enjoy their constitutional freedoms and rights. PAC highlighted that in order to successfully address the issue, there is need for collaboration by key stakeholders including Government,” he said.

According to Mtambo, progressively, Government is a committed stakeholder, which is willing to interface with the technical team that PAC has been established to look into this.

“An MOU will be developed between PAC and the Ministry of Civic Education and National Unity as part of collaboration efforts. In that vein, I committed to form a citizen engagement platform, which will act as a rostrum for inclusive policy generation for sustainable implementation,” he says.

In November 201,UN Resident Co-ordinator, Maria Jose Torres, said Malawians should “respect each other’s religious beliefs and engage in peaceful dialogue to resolve:”

The incident at M’manga school in Balaka district in November, 2019 sparked violence between Christian and Muslim groups that left at least two people seriously injured.

Shops, a mosque, an Anglican church and a priest’s house were also destroyed.

The Anglican Church, which runs M’manga school, had stopped students from wearing hijabs.

Torres said intolerance could “deny girls the right to learn”.
