Madonna to visit orphanage

The pop star was initially expected to arrive in the impoverished southern African country on Sunday.

"What we know is that she is expected tomorrow (Monday) and will immediately visit two sites," a senior government official told Reuters.

The singer's spokeswoman says she has no plans to adopt another child although media reports suggest Madonna plans to adopt a young girl.

Meanwhile, the grandmother of Madonna’s adopted son David Banda has revealed the singer had made a promise to find a Malawian sister for the youngster.

Athnette Mwale, 58, said charity workers told her and son Yohane — David’s biological father — that Madonna “would return for another child very soon�.

She said: “I have prayed to God that my boy will have a sister to play with from his own country. 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.�

Yohane, 31, speaking from Lipungo, a village of 30 mud huts, said: “I have never met Madonna but would love to see my son again. I hope she comes to visit.�
