Pop Star Madonna arrived in Malawi aboard a private jet with registration number HB-IHQ which landed at Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe, Malawi at around 8:20am on Monday. She came off through the cargo outlet - a move calculated to swerve the lenses of prying paparazzi.

Wearing a dark blue jeans and T-Shirt, the pop star came with a crew of about 10 people including the Sony Ericsson boss.

AfricaNews reporter said Madonna came with all her children including David Banda and Mercy James whom she adopted in the country.

She is expected to go to Mchinji Millennium project - a United Nations initiative in the central border district west of Lilongwe - on Monday and then on Tuesday she will inspect the Raising Malawi Academy for Gils in Lilongwe.

Madonna will be joined by economist Jeffrey Sachs, a development affairs expert and mentor of the initiative. She is expected to lay the first brick of her Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, signaling the official commencement of construction of the $15 million academy, set to open in 2011.
