Malawi’s government has told a group of villagers they will have to move to make way for a $US15 million ($A16.84 million) girls’ school being built by pop star Madonna.
Residents have refused to leave the site just outside the capital, Lilongwe.
Lilongwe District Commissioner Charles Kalemba told 200 villagers on Thursday that the government land had been handed over to Madonna.
The villagers have been offered other government land.
Anjimile Mtila-Oponyo, who will be principal of Madonna’s school, said the singer paid the villagers more than 16 million kwacha (about $A130,000) to compensate them for their houses.
Headman Binson Chinkhota urged residents to move, saying the school would benefit their children.
