[Civsoc-mw] [NYASANET] History of Africa Otherwise: Malawi: The incredible true story of Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda.

[Tony Thontholani]

Kamuzu - in his speeches - claimed that when he came to Malawi, he found people literally naked. 

So, why did he ban miniskirts? Shouldn't he have been proud that at least people were not literally naked. 

In one song, I think done by Mbumba from Mwanza, went:

Kale lija 
Tinkabvala nyanda
Koma lero zitenje ponse ponse 
Likulu ku Lilongwe 
Tithokoze ngwazi
