  Hastings Banda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was Banda himself who chose the name "Malawi" for the former Nyasaland; he had seen it on an old French map as the name of a "Lake Maravi" in the land of the Bororos, and liked the sound and appearance of the word as "Malawi".
Banda allowed democratic elections in 1994, and was soundly defeated by Bakili Muluzi, a Yao from the Southern Region of the country whose two terms in office were not without serious controversy.
Banda died in a hospital in South Africa in 1997, aged 101 (according to rumour).

 ZNet Commentary
Bandas control over Malawi was so absolute, from the media through the judiciary, the military, the legislative, to the executive branches of government, police and domestic affairs to foreign affairs, etc., that it was practically impossible to even imagine him dislodged from power.
During the Kamuzu Banda era, the exodus was supplemented by the migration of intellectuals who, for acquiring critical minds and analytical skills, were assumed to be critical of the regime.
Banda was handed his final defeat and the era of multi-party politics, with Bakili Muluzi of the United Democratic Front as the president, was ushered in.

 CONVERSATIONS WITH KAMUZU: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DR. H. KAMUZU BANDA - Part 1, By Dr. Donal Brody - February 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Kamuzu Banda was to single - handedly change the fate and face of Southern Africa in general, Nyasaland/Malawi in particular and her colonial master, the United Kingdom.
Kamuzu was born at a time when the bonds of Chewa tradition and culture were still very strong; when the family relationships and ties still provided the matrix of obedience and discipline which was to influence Kamuzu and everything he did throughout his life.
Kamuzu had enormous respect for the Reverend Manda as, even at that very young age, he felt the need and recognized the benefits of bridging the culture of his birth and the new European knowledge, the rudiments of which, he was now being offered.

As founder and Commander-in-Chief of the MYP, Dr Banda himself emphasised the developmental role they were supposed to play in the life of the new nation, at the expense of their political activities which were to intimidate and annoy many Malawians with the passage of time.
In March 1987, Dr Banda reached an agreement with the new Mozambican President, Joaquim Chissano, according to which units of the Malawi Army were to operate jointly with those of the Mozambican Army in guarding the Northern Mozambique Railway Line from Nayuchi on the Malawi-Mozambique border to the port of Nacala on the east coast.
This was in many ways a fence-mending gesture on Dr Banda’s part, given the extent to which the international community had for long linked him to the destabilising campaign in Mozambique, and to the cause of the death, in an air crash, of Mozambique’s first president, Samora Machel, in September 1986.

According to Kamuzu Banda, the former President of the Republic of Malawi, the name Chewa derives from the word Cheva or Sheva or Seva which was applied to them as a migrating group and had the meaning of "foreigner".
Kamuzu Banda construed that and their subsequent reluctance to repatriate those "rebels" as at best an affront.
There is even evidence of (perhaps tacit) government approval to the revamping of Kamuzu Banda's language policy and the restoration of Chinyanja as the name of the language, bringing Malawi in line with its neighboring countries, once again, relegating Chichewa to dialect status.
