ABSTRACT
Migrations and tribal conflicts precluded the formation of a cohesive Malawian society until the turn of the 20th century. Despite some clear differences, no significant friction currently exists between tribal groups, and the concept of a Malawian nationality has begun to take hold. Subsequently, Scottish Presbyterian churches established missions in Malawi. The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was dissolved on December 31, 1963, and Malawi became a fully independent member of the Commonwealth on July 6, 1964”. The Mocambique – Malawi boundary is 1,569 km in length and is demarcated. It traverses Lake Nyasa for about 205 miles including lines around Likoma Island and Chisumulu Island, which are part of Malawi. The southern third of Malawi is covered by the Tete Datum chain of quadrilaterals.
