Mtunthama Monument area: Kachere Tree, Drum Tree and Chiwengo Gallery


Title: Mtunthama Monument area: Kachere Tree, Drum Tree and Chiwengo

Description: The place where Malawi's first President, Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda received his first formal lessons. The monuments area comprises the Kachere tree which was used as a classroom, the drum tree where a drum which was used to call students hang, and Kamwala Well which was used as a source of water for the school. This site portrays the sheer determination and hunger for education that the masses had; despite difficult learning conditions such as learning from under a tree.
