White Malawians are people of European descent who trace their ancestry to the early colonial era in Malawi. They are a small but significant minority group in Malawi, with a rich history and diverse experiences.[1]
The history of White Malawians dates back to the 16th century when Portuguese explorers, including Gaspar Bocarro, arrived in the region. Later, British explorers like David Livingstone, John Speke, James Augustus Grant, and Verney Lovett Cameron also ventured into the area. During the colonial era, which began in 1883, European settlers, administrators, and missionaries arrived, establishing farms, businesses, and churches. They played a significant role in shaping the country's economy, politics, and culture.[2]
