The country in Africa with Lilongwe as its capital that uses the kwacha as its currency is Malawi.
Malawi is a landlocked country in southeastern Africa, bordered by Tanzania, Zambia, and Mozambique. Its capital, Lilongwe, is located in the central region and became the national capital in 1975, replacing Zomba.
The Malawian kwacha is divided into 100 tambala. The word “kwacha” means “dawn” in several African languages and is also used for the currency of neighboring Zambia, although the two kwachas are separate currencies. This shared name can cause confusion when identifying Malawi’s money.
Malawi is sometimes called the “Warm Heart of Africa,” a nickname associated with the country’s welcoming culture. Lake Malawi, one of Africa’s largest lakes, occupies much of the country’s eastern border and is a major geographic feature.
