Independence Day is listed as a public holiday in Malawi.
A day for printed pictures, old phones, albums, names written on backs, and the people a household remembers together.
Not a widely celebrated holiday, but the anniversary of the 1966 declaration of the Republic of Malawi, when the country became a republic within the Commonwealth with Banda as president. Before this, Malawi was a constitutional monarchy with the British Queen as head of state. The day is observed with official ceremonies and the reminder that Malawi was a one-party state for 28 years (1966-1994) before the transition to multi-party democracy. The old flag : a black, red, and green horizontal tricolor with a rising sun : was replaced in 2010, then restored in 2012, a symbolic tug-of-war over the meaning of independence.
A day for public knowledge, borrowed books, study time, research, and the simple dignity of a quiet place.
A day for food, water, grooming, shade, warmth, and the small routines that keep animals safe and loved.
