“Malawi’s government has told a group of villagers they will have to move to make way for a $16.84 million girls’ school being built by pop star Madonna.” writes ninemsn.com.au
According to ninemsn the government in Malawi has asked a village to move in order to start building a school that has been donated by none other than Madonna! However, residents have refused to move just outside the capital city of Lilongwe. AFP Commisioner Kalemba said the villagers “were lucky to have been compensated for the houses, gardens and fruit trees.” Anjimile Mtila-Oponyo, who will be principal of Madonna’s school, said the singer paid the villagers more than 16 million kwacha (about $A130,000) to compensate them for their houses.
Headman Binson Chinkhota urged residents to move, saying the school would benefit their children. How can it benefit their children if they aren’t going to be living anywhere near the school, somehomw this still doesn’t put our minds at ease.
