David’s father, Yohane Banda, suddenly in the media spotlight, said he had not understood that his son no longer belonged to him and might never return to Malawi. Madonna says that that is not what Banda said earlier, although she does not speak his language.
但戴维确实好运吗？戴维的父亲尤罕·邦达（Yohane Banda）眨眼间成了知名人物，他说他原来不知道儿子将不再属于自己，也不知道儿子可能再也不会回到马拉维。麦当娜说尽管她听不懂邦达的语言，但邦达当时绝对不是的这样的说法。人们也开始询问，把孩子从父亲身边带走好吗？人权倡议者开始提起诉讼，要求戴维回到自己的祖国。
