Hastings Bander was the independence leader, and then stayed from 1964 until 1994. He liked to control everything in the country - including agriculture. And he set up this huge mechanism of state control that really tried to direct development. That came to an end when he was kicked out and Malawi adopted multi-party democracy. But that dead hand of dictatorship has still stayed. You've seen success of governments following very similar kinds of policies. A kind of small, rapacious, in many ways, corrupt elite has taken control of large parts of the economy. So there is clearly some self-interest as well.
