David Banda
24 September 2005, Malawi, Africa6 years
David Banda was born in Malawi in 2005. In 2006 Pop Icon Madonna travelled to Malawi doing charity work for her foundation. She met little David in an orphanage and filed for adoption papers. The adoption had a lot of bad press and controversy as David's father was still alive. David Banda was renamed David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie in 2006 and is now a part of Madonna's family. This was the first foreign adoption in Malawi.

No one can deny that Madonna has had an interesting life! She has transformed herself many times over her long career and her personal life has been very complicated. Somehow she is keeping her family together though. By the looks of it, Kabbalah and a similar taste in hats has helped with that! Madonna's ex, Carlos Leon and their daughter Lourdes Leon were at the Kabbalah centre in New York with Madonna's new lover Jesus Luz and Madonna's adopted son David Banda, all of them wearing Fedora hats! Great to see them getting on so well!

Madonna Causes An Upset!

Madonna and her kids have arrived in Malawi and the rumour is they are there to adopt a new baby, Mercy James, as you know. But this is not the only business Madonna has in Malawi. We hear she is also building a school for girls, similar to Oprah's Girls Academy in South Africa. Only problem is Madonna's school will be built on land that is being used for farming! Some locals are saying this is their ancestral land where they grow their food, so they are upset because they have to leave. Madonna is apparantly just ignoring this! How does she manage to cause controversy wherever she goes? (People)
