Madonna returned to Malawi today for the first time since her furious row with the country’s former president 18 months ago.
The singer is believed to have flown in this morning with the two children she adopted from the central African country and her other son for surprise talks with the new leader.
Her visit will fuel speculation the star is looking to adopt another child after she posted pictures online today showing her playing with young Malawian children, apparently at an orphanage.
Madonna, who funds orphanages in the country and is helping to build schools and hospitals, was unceremoniously sent packing in April last year after a dispute with ex-president Joyce Banda.
Mrs Banda attacked the pop star for being ‘arrogant’ and bizarrely accused her of being less well-mannered than footballers Gary Neville or Rio Ferdinand ‘despite their equally dazzling stature’.
A statement released by her office, which Mrs Banda later distanced herself from, accused the star of wanting Malawi ‘to be forever chained to the obligation of gratitude’ for her charity work.
It also claimed Madonna believed the country should have ‘rolled out a red carpet and blast the 21-gun salute’ upon her arrival.
Mrs Banda, whose sister Anjimile Ntila-Oponyo used to run Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity until her sacking over financial impropriety, stripped the singer of her ‘Very Very Important Person’ (VVIP) status.
This fall-out forced Madonna, 56, to check into her private jet at Kamuzu International Airport as an ‘ordinary passenger’.-AfricaMetro
