So, how did the reunion between David and his Dad go, Madonna?

Before Madonna's return to Malawi, Yohane Banda expressed disappointment that he'd not heard from Madonna since she took his son out the country, and suggested he'd take the opportunity of a meeting to give Mrs Richie his contact details.

Madonna has managed to avoid any such unpleasantness as having a phone number crammed into her hand by simply not having the decency to let David see his father.

Yohane is learning to deal with the constant series of disappointments:

Yohane was left disappointed when Madonna's tight schedule didn't allow for him to sit down with David. He says, "I never met him. Plans were there for me to meet David but it never happened.

"I must say my mother was looking forward to meeting David and she was a little sad it was never to happen. But I assured her it will happen one day."

Banda claims the Malawi government's Director Of Child Welfare services, Penston Kilembe, told him, "Meeting me was not on the agenda but (Madonna's) people said if time allowed she would meet me."

Well, you can understand how she might find it tricky to make time in her busy schedule to find a couple of hours to let a father and son spend some time together. It's almost as if she was keen for it not to happen. For some reason.
