Agreed, Ba Prof Thandika. 

The first 'mutsogoleri' or president usually sets the standards,  the pace,  the direction. He/she becomes the role model.

Kwame was a very principled Pan-Africanist who had a vision for not only Ghana, but Africa as a whole. He even envisaged free Africa as a United States of Africa. 

Kamuzu was the antithesis of Kwame.  He was a selfcentred demagogue to whom a united free Africa was anathema. 

Let me send you a video clip ftom Malawi Past-Testimonies.

Our political oratory was shaped by Kamuzu whose speeches largely consisted
of shouting and repetition.
