Kamuzu Banda
Kamuzu Banda was the first President of Malawi, serving from 1964 to 1994, and was a significant figure in the country's struggle for independence from British colonial rule. His tenure was marked by authoritarianism and a strong emphasis on nationalism, but he also made promises of recognition and compensation for victims of colonial violence that ultimately went unfulfilled.
