Recently one of Malawi's leading dj Annie Matumbi, released a single where he launched a commical attack on Malawian NGO bosses that opposed the adoption of David Banda.
In his rhetoric he raises the questions of "why the bosses only became active after the adoption when they knew all along about the adoption?"
He also observes that NGO bosses usually have flashy cars, and live in plush areas as well as send their children to expensive schools.
In one of his lines, he mokes the bosses by saying "Ana anu akadwala ndiye kuti ageya","your kids are only sick when they burp" ,implying that they have enough of everything.
He also recognizes that, NGOs that have been against Madonna, have not looked at internal issues and addressed them adequately. He cites the example of street kids as an outstanding example.
He finishes his song with an ironic twist by joking on any Madonna future visit, "tsono a malawi tikadzongomva kuti Madonna akubwera, tidzakasonkhana ku airport, tidzangomva kuti amadzagula ng'ombe", "people will flock to the airport the next time Madonna comes, only to hear that she came to buy cows!"
