Abstract
As with Zambia, we have used Clyde Mitchell’s classification of the Bantu of Southern Africa (1946). These are inclusive categories based on cultural and linguistic considerations. The Lomwe, Yao, and Ngoni are identity groups. In the north, there is a small Nyakyusa-type population (3 percent), consisting of Siukwa and Ngonde peoples. Other small groups are the Wandya and Lambya. It should be noted that our ethnic percentages are taken from the 1945 census, although they are assumed to be representative of the contemporary situation. There were 7,400 Europeans in 1966 and over 11,000 Asians and other non-Malawians. Asians had been ordered to do business in the major cities only and to leave the country by 1978 but many remain.
