Madonna is under fire by Malawi’s Ministry of Education. The pop
icon had planned to build a girls academy, but didn’t notify the authorities when
said plans fell through due to ‘mismanagement of funds’. Now, she has decided
to build 10 new schools in some of the impoverished villages of Malawi that are
without schools. But she has failed to get permission from the Malawi
Authorities. Lindiwe Chide, the spokeswoman for the Ministry of Education said, "She has no mandate to decide where she wants to build a school because she doesn't know our needs and where we want new schools. She first needed to consult us, get permission from us before doing anything." She also believes that Madonna’s intentions are not truly to help the
people of Malawi but merely to make her global image better. Madonna's spokesperson claims that "This is simply not true."Wednesday, March 14, 2012
