It’s a World First!
On 29th September 2016 in Lilongwe the official launch took place of the first Chichewa Dictionary, published by Oxford University Press (OUP). The dictionary is a much needed tool for schools and in trans-cultural situations in Malawi such as The Book Bus. The launch was attended by the former Vice President of the Republic of Malawi the right honourable Dr. Justin Malewezi, who is a well-known advocate of the Chichewa heritage as a language and as a cultural phenomenon that extends beyond the boundaries of Malawi.Chichewa diction
