More about Malawi
Politics
The constitution, which came into force on May 18, 1995, designates Malawi as the presidential republic in the Commonwealth, guarantees the separation of powers and a multi-party system. The head of state, commander-in-chief of the armed forces and supreme holder of executive power (head of government) is the president, who is directly elected for a period of 5 years (one-time re-election possible). It is endowed with far-reaching powers (including the right to veto legislative decisions and the right to dissolve parliament) and determines the guidelines for politics. He is supported by a vice-president (based on the model of the presidential system in the USA), who takes over the office of president in the event of a vacancy. Legislative body is the National Assembly.
National symbols
The national flag, introduced with independence, has horizontal stripes in black, red and green. In the black stripe it wears a red rising sun. The flag is based on the flag of the Malawian independence movement, to which the sun was inflicted. In 2010 a new flag was introduced. It was striped horizontally in red, black, and green. In the black stripe she wore a white risen sun, which was supposed to symbolize the progress achieved after independence. In 2012 they returned to the old flag.
The coat of arms was awarded on June 30, 1964 by the British Queen Elizabeth II. The shield, which is divided twice, shows blue wavy lines in the silver shield head as a symbol for Lake Malawi, in the red field in the middle a golden lion striding heraldically to the right (reminiscent of the earlier British rule) and in the black shield base a golden, rising sun. The upper coat of arms is a stech helmet with a red and gold bulge and helmet covers of the same color, the blue and silver wavy lines of Lake Malawi and a fish eagle in front of a rising sun as a symbol of the independent state. Heraldic shield holders are a lion on the right and a leopard on the left, both with red tongues. The shield and shield holder stand on a representation of the Mulanje massif. The golden ribbon bears the motto “Unity and Freedom” in red letters.
The national holiday is July 6th, it commemorates the gaining of independence in 1964.
