If a male person's sister marries and produces children, all her children constitute the mbumba of her brother whom they will address malume (= maternal uncle). And he will be the mwini-mbumba (= the owner of the mbumba ), all those children will be his mbumba. The matrilineal social struture of the Achewa brings about this kind of bifurcation. It cannot be that the man in question would call the children of his elder or younger brothers mbumba ayanga (= my mbumba ), he would call them

"A Democracy of Chameleons: Politics and Culture in the New Malawi (review)" Africa Today - Volume 51, Number 1, Fall 2004, pp. 118-120 Indiana University Press Excerpt Africa Today [Access article in PDF] A Democracy of Chameleons: Politics and Culture in the New Malawi consists of a collection of papers originally presented at the International Conference on Historical and Social Science Research in Malawi: Problems and Prospects. Funded by the Nordic Africa Institute, the conference was held in Malawi in 2000. In the introductory chapter, the editor, Harri Englund, characterizes Malawi's democracy as a culture of chameleon politics after a poem by Jack [End Page 118] Mapanje. Mapanje is an acclaimed Malawian poet who was imprisoned without trial for four years under Kamuzu Banda's regime. In a culture of chameleon politics, alliances among the political elite are unpredictable and erratic, and there are frequent shifts in personal and collective identities. These are features of the current political system that the editor believes testify to the shallowness of democratic reform in Malawi.

Wiring the South: Internet and the developing world Wireless Networks by Anamaria Decock Senior Population Communication Specialist Communication for Development Branch (SDRS) FAO Research, Extension and Training Division (extracted from "Ceres", The FAO Review, No. 158 - March-April 1996) Home Page Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 ... Section 4 Nadimba is 30. She lives with her seven children in southern Malawi near the Mozambique border. Her husband has migrated to find work on one of the plantations of central Malawi. There is no electricity in her village, no safe water, no telephone. She has taught herself to write her name, but she is not comfortable with reading. On the rare occasions when mobile units have stopped in her village, she has watched a film. If she can, she listens to the family radio, but the radio runs on batteries, and batteries cost money so it is the men who choose the programs. Like most rural Africans, Nadimba lives outside the global information village. There are no satellite dishes, modems and computers in her world. While urban elites cruise the information highways, the poor and the powerless of rural Africa hike along the same dirt road they have always known. But still they communicate. Even if global high-tech is a world away and electronic media are beyond their means, rural communities transmit their social and cultural heritage through a communication environment that existed long before sophisticated modern information technologies. African villages have held on to a wealth of indigenous knowledge firmly embedded in the traditional mores and talents of generations past.

Kamuzu's Mbumba: Malawi women's embeddedness to culture in the face of international political pressure and internal legal change. Africa Today; June 22, 2002; Semu, Linda Semu, Linda Africa Today June 22, 2002 The case of Malawi shows that while legal reform, transition to political pluralism, and adoption of the language of international human rights may facilitate the formation of a constitution that guarantees and respects all people's human rights, a cultural discourse that presents contradictions and ironies regarding women's status may limit the extent to which these processes are translated into automatic and predictable gains for women. Precolonial gender roles and historical processes in the colonial and postcolonial period have resulted in a fluidity with which the concept of culture is used. Under Kamuzu Banda's rule, the state appropriated the mbumba culture to create a mass-based political organization, and yet did not give women real power. Since the transition to liberal democracy in 1993-1994, the Malawi government has shown a willingness to preach gender equality by adopting a nondiscrimination clause in its constitution and undertaking legal reform and

More Last Updated: Tuesday, 30 November, 2004, 20:21 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Cultural norms fuel HIV in Malawi By Julian Siddle Producer, Malawi, HIV and Marriage Traditional practices are resulting in more women being infected Earlier this year the World Health Organisation and the UN published a series of reports looking at reasons why women might be more susceptible to HIV than men. They weren't medical reports, but ones that looked at the structures of society. One of the areas blamed was marriage. This seemed something of a contradiction, but the idea was that young women, particularly teenage girls, married older infected men. I travelled with presenter Hassan Arouni to Malawi, one of Africa's poorest countries, where HIV infects around 17% of the population and where infection rates amongst teenage girls are four times higher than boys. According to Agnes Chimbiri from Malawi University's centre for reproductive health it is not an issue with simple cause and effect.

Bicycle Africa Malawi Program Fact Sheet Unique Programs To Special Places For Memories Of A Lifetime! Your friends have probably never heard of Malawi, but don't let that discourage you. Malawi has an extraordinary range of scenery, a wonderfully welcoming population, classic African wildlife viewing, a modern history of peace and cooperation and because of less of a historical colonial presence, there is less of a European overlay on it traditional culture than is typical in East and Southern Africa. Malawi embodies its moniker of "The Warm Heart of Africa". A special feature of the program is the opportunity to meet people active in the issues of the day; education, women and development, rural health care, environmental protection, sustainable food and cash crop production and energy conservation. Pleasure and satisfaction on past Malawi programs has been very high. MALAWI: LAND AND LAKE (southern circuit) Schedule: July - September (see full schedule and status ) Because of low demand this program is only run every couple years. It is very helpful if you let us know that you are interested in this program. (see also Tanzania Uganda and Zimbabwe Program Price (lodging, two meals/day, guide, museum fees and more):US$1090 plus airfare. Average out of pocket expenses per program $100 plus or minus $50.

The UNC Malawi Dental Project seeks to accomplish the following aims: Provide a cultural exchange between UNC students and Malawians. Educate Malawian school aged children about oral health and hygiene and about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and risks associated with the disease (ages 6-18). Provide emergency, preventive, and restorative care to those in need in the Lilongwe Hospital. Visit the 2004 Gallery on the Photos page to view a slide show on About the Project. Methods: Provide a cultural exchange between UNC students and Malawians. UNC students will seek to nurture a natural cultural exchange. The will be various opportunities to share between UNC students and Malawians aside from formal activities. Students see this as an excellent opportunity to learn about Malawian culture and their views of the world and the US. They will seek to share their own backgrounds and interests. All students will reside in Malawian homes which will facilitate an immersion experience and will teach a great deal about the lives of the people and the issues they are dealing with.
