Reacting to Madonna's adoption of a Malawian baby, Afrika-Aphukira writes:
“For Mr. Yohane Banda, who had never heard of the pop diva Madonna until she visited Malawi last week to adopt his 13 month-old son David, the closest he could relate with the material girl was the word Dona, meaning rich white woman, in Malawian parlance. In a matter of days, he now knows her, and the rich guy Guy Ritchie, as the new parents of his son. My initial reaction to the news was amazement at how a child whose father was alive and available could be termed an orphan, and be considered for adoption.”

João Branco comments on Cape Verde's achievement going two points up to the respected 3rd place in the Ibrahim Index of African Governance. “This is an important piece of news, given the fairly rigorous and serious way - at least so it seems - that they come up with this classification. Note that Cape Verde is only behind Mauritius and Sheychelles.”

I say: more kudos to Madonna. She made a choice, and it was a good one. I hope she follows through on it.
The boy will grow up knowing that of all the children in his town, she loved him, and chose him. A very important fact for any child who is adopted.
Everyone who adopts makes choices. I don’t see why some evil minded people condemn Madonna for hers. I think, that on the surface, she made a good choice.
