[edit] Possivle POV

The Tumbukas are among,if not the most educated people in Malawi as a result the former and the first Malawian President Kamuzu Banda,so them as a threat and persecuted a lot of them,one he day,he was quoted as saying "God made a great a mistake he created the Tumbukas and gave them intelligence".Presently there is quet a signicant number of the Tumbukas in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

(In additon to being possible POV it needs grammar and spelling repair. Can the quote be confirmed? How about the accusations of persecution?) RJFJR 03:19, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

i'm under the impression that the tumbukas are a bantu people, since the article on their language says it's a bantu language. so why doesn't this article say they're a bantu people? Gringo300 18:59, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
