Hiplife Veteran Reggie Rockstone and his wife Zilla Limann have denounced their association with Achimota School after it denied students admission based on their Rastafarian religion.
Both being alumni’s of the Achimota School, they publicly announced that that they would not be available for anything relating to the institution. The music legend says he feels very emotional as an old student of the school to comment on the impasse. “Everything to do with Motown is on pause with me. Don’t call me for anything; don’t call me for no year group. I like to go where I am welcome.”

Reggie’s wife, who is also an alumnus of Achimota School, said: “Motown is now no-town.” Meanwhile, Political Scientist Dr Richard Amoako Baah says the Rastafarian students should comply with the directive of Achimota School and cut their dreadlocks if they want an education in the school.

The admission standoff between parents of the students with the dreadlocks and Achimota School is still raging as the school insists they cannot be admitted until they cut off the hair.
The Ghana Education Service has reversed an earlier directive asking the authorities of Achimota School to admit the students. Teacher unions in the country have backed the decision of the GES and Achimota.

“One does not understand why people want to turn our schools into deregulated institutions where people’s whims and caprices hold way. The school is not a fashion environment; the school is not an environment to exhibit one’s religious beliefs. The school is an environment for training and conformity is part of training,” NAGRAT President Eric Angel Carbonu said.

Commenting on the development, Dr Amoako Baah said the school cannot be compelled to admit the students. “If the school insists that he has to cut it off, he has to cut it off. We make girls cut their hair and there’s a purpose for it. It’s not a matter of going there to do what you want. White people’s hair is not like our hair. We shouldn’t talk about it because we want to win points. If he wants education, he should forget the hair. That’s it, very simple,” he told Francis Abban on the Morning Starr.'
