Abstract: 

My excuse for presenting this summary of Cewa tradition and history is that the Cewa are a numerous and important people. Numerically they are the most important descendants of the Malawi (the Maravi or Maraves of Portuguese records); and the fact that the name of their ancestors has been adopted by the majority party in Nyasaland led by Dr Hastings Banda, himself a Cewa, is one of the indications of their political importance.
