Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda was a leading pan–Africanist who oversaw the Independence of several African countries.
The history of Malawi’s Independence is similar to Kenya’s, in that Malawi was declared a state in 1963 and became independent in 1964. Soon after Independence from Britain, Kamuzu Banda was appointed the prime minister of the country.
