Madge lands in Malawi
Madonna has jetted into Malawi but is still denying that the aim of her visit is to adopt another baby.The singer landed in the capital of Lilongwe on what is being touted as a charitable visit to the troubled nation.The queen of pop will visit an orphanage she is helping to fund in Mphandula Village outside of the capital and the Home for Hope orphanage from where she adopted baby David Banda.Madonna's last visit to Malawi in October last year created a media frenzy when it was claimed that the singer received special treatment from authorities as normally a year of residence is needed to adopt.Despite Madge's instance that this time the visit is purely charitable, rumours have circulated that the Material World star may be looking to adopt again.On Saturday Athnette Mwale, David's paternal grandmother, told a British newspaper that Madonna had promised to adopt a baby girl."When the adoption people came to speak to Yohane about David they said Madonna would give him the best life in the world. And they promised that she would find him a sister, another orphan from Malawi," she said.© Independent Television News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
