16. A few people have remarked on David Banda’s costume; yet they are only expressing colonial mentality. First, for a very long long time in the history of a people who are now called Malawians and those of many other African regions; including Tanzania and Kenya wore like the way David Banda has done. Thats typical African. You mean to be traditional, David should have garbed like a modern Malawian; which is either colonial or global. Second, Malawians are not different from Tanzanians or Kenyans or Ugandans. The people in the three countries, plus those of East, Central and Southern Africa are called Bantus, and the languages spoken in these areas are Bantu dialects; linguists will tell you. The Swahili dialect is spoken in parts of Northern Malawi. David Banda has a bigger picture of Africa being one and you want him to bring that one down to a colonial view of divided Africa. Moreerover, Malawian history shows that the country over history has been filled up by people ethnic groups from various parts of Africa; including present day Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, Republic of Congo, Uganda, Zimbabwe, South Africa; and other smaller migrations into the area presently known as Malawi. All the people of these regions wore like David has done before they adopted the colonial outfit. Spare David and Madona.

    1. Dont lie bro , the fabricted clothe is not an African attire at least if he put on nyanda which is believed to be African attire made from animal skins and balk of the trees

    2. thats how the east africans dress.Malawi has no attire at all.He is being identified as an African.

    3. You only need to review your history of the development of attire in the region I have referred to. Bulk of tree comes much earlier in history although it continued being used into the early 20th Century by those who could not afford cloth. It seems the quality of cloth matters to you more than the fashion. The way David is wearing was the way cloth was worne. It was wrapped around the waist when at work or travelling. Even in the early part of the history of modern Malawi and for those who choose today still wear the cloth like that, Beads were mainly worn by women over cloth. So where do I lie. You want prehistoric.

    4. I think more literacy education is needed almong more malawian’s to know who and where they are coming from.

17. US As Malawian s we don’t wear this teach the real identity

    1. Are you sure we have identity cos what I know is that you can not tell who is & not Malawian by our dressing. We are so artificial in everything & atleast David is dressed more of African/Malawian as you find this with the Ngonis, Chewas & others.

    2. Am a chewa from both kasungu and dedza there is nothing like this forus we use to go to our villages and we learnt a lot

18. We hop e david banda will rescue malawians from hell that is hapening in our country

    1. Jealous malawians will block him, mark my words, we are poor even in mind.

    2. Anthuopanda zelu iñu mwatibwanji??

19. Eeesh Malawian writers sleeping. This was sometime

20. Which country? As far as I know Malawi has no traditional attire, we always copy from elsewhere, starting from music, dressing, dramas, etc Malawi has cultures with no roots.
