Malawi Africa PEOPLE Malawi derives its name from the Maravi, a Bantu people who came from the southern Congo about 600 years ago. On reaching the area north of Lake Malawi, the Maravi divided. One branch, the ancestors of the present-day Chewas, moved south to the west bank of the lake. The other, the ancestors of the Nyanjas, moved down the east bank to the southern part of the country. By AD 1500, the two divisions of the tribe had established a kingdom stretching from north of the present-day city of Nkhotakota to the Zambezi River in the south, and from Lake Malawi in the east, to the Luangwa River in Zambia in the west. Migrations and tribal conflicts precluded the formation of a cohesive Malawian society until the turn of the 20th century. In more recent years, ethnic and tribal distinctions have diminished. Regional distinctions and rivalries, however, persist. Despite some clear differences, no significant friction currently exists between tribal groups, and the concept of a Malawian nationality has begun to take hold. Predominately a rural people, Malawians are generally conservative and traditionally nonviolent. The Chewas constitute 90% of the population of the central region; the Nyanja tribe predominates in the south and the Tumbuka in the north. In addition, significant numbers of the Tongas live in the north; Ngonisan offshoot of the Zulus who came from South Africa in the early 1800slive in the lower northern and lower central regions; and the Yao, who are mostly Muslim, live along the southeastern border with Mozambique.

DESTINATION ZAMBIA Zambia's had a contorted history of bad breaks and brutal leaders. Recent moves toward democratisation have been reversed, then reversed again. Nationalisation in the 1960s led to widespread corruption and poverty; privatisation in the 1990s has had more or less the same effect. As floods in the north and drought in the south wipe out much of the country's crops, food relief supplies are being diverted to black market outlets and the threat of famine looms. All of which might make Zambia sound like the last place on earth you'd want to go, but the country is far more hospitable to travellers than it's been in a while, and its natural beauty and animal life are unsurpassed in Africa.

Zambia is the land of the legendary African walking safari, with the earth's biggest waterfall, the wild Zambezi River, breath-taking lakes and wetlands, a profusion of birds, abundant wildlife, and raw, pulsating wilderness and, all in one friendly country. For many years Zambia was often overlooked by tourists and forgotten by the rest of the world because of disastrous politics during the 1970's and 1980's, which led to much poverty and the virtual breakdown of the country. But in the 1990's Zambia changed, as a massive shift on the political scene lead to economic reforms and other improvements. Zambia has also changed quite massively for visitors too, especially for wildlife fans, as the excellent national parks are teeming with birds and animals, and now boast some of the finest safari camps and lodges in the whole of Southern Africa. It also has two of the region's major tourist highlights, Victoria Falls, which it shares with Zimbabwe and the River Zambezi. For independent travellers Zambia is still a bit of a challenge as distances are long and getting around takes persistence, particularly once you get off the main routes. But for many people, the challenge is the main attraction and without a doubt in Zambia, you come pretty close to finding what you could call the "real" Africa.

LANGUAGE PLANNING AND LINGUISTIC EXCLUSION IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IN MALAWI Alfred J. Matiki, PhD University of Malawi Introduction This paper examines the dynamic functioning of linguistic diversity in Malawi from a language planning perspective. It explores how the asymmetrical and competitive coexistence of English and indigenous languages in the secondary domains of national life has adjusted to current sociopolitical and sociocultural realities. More specifically it examines the efficacy of introducing indigenous languages, particularly the national lingua franca Chinyanja, into the legislative assembly. The State of Language Planning in Post-colonial Malawi The census also showed that 0.006% of the population used English as a home language while 4.9% understood it. Only 22.5% of the population understood only an indigenous language other than Chichewa, and 0.9% understood English and another language but not Chichewa. As Stubbs (1972:72) notes, when Malawi won its independence from Britain in 1964 and attained its republican status in 1966, "slightly over one in five of the population aged 5 and over were unable to understand either of the languages in which information was diffused and administration and business conducted." In spite of this realization, the new government adopted the colonial language policy with the only exception that Chichewa was given a new status and a prominent position in the policy.

General Facts on Malawi Situated in southeastern Africa, the Republic of Malawi is bordered by Tanzania in the north, Mozambique in the east and south, and Zambia in the west. The total land area is about 118,484 sq km (45,747 sq mi), of which nearly one-fifth is covered with water. The beautiful lake Nyasa (Malawi) which forms a large part of the country’s eastern border with Mozambique, is the third-largest lake in Africa and covers an area of approximately 28 000 sq km. Often referred to as the “Heart of Africa”, Malawi has a population of some 9,9 million (1998) people who speak a total of fourteen different languages. Brief History Archaeological discoveries around Lake Nyasa indicates that human settlements existed in the area at least as far back as the Stone Age and Iron Age. In the first millennium AD Bantu peoples from the north, pushed southward by wars, disease and hunger, began settling in the area.. The first and probably largest identifiable group to make their new home in what is now Malawi, were the Maravi-people who moved their sometime between the 15 th and 16 th centuries under the leadership of Chief Kalonga. They soon became known as the “Chewa”, a word derived from the word “Cheva” or “Sheva” (meaning foreigners), and were the ancestors of modern-day Malawi’s largest ethnic group – the Chewa.
