No Mercy for Madge tot 'dad'

 

Mum's the word ... Madonna and Mercy

 

THE man who claims to be the father of MADONNA'S adopted daughter MERCY will not be meeting her.

The singer has denied him access after disputing his claim on the four-year-old.

JAMES KAMBEWA was angling for a meeting with the little girl, who was adopted from a Malawi orphanage last year.

But Madonna's rep BARBARA CHARONE told a South African newspaper: "The extended family members had no knowledge of a father. The village leadership had no knowledge of a father... the mother was raped and left."

Kambewa, who works as a waiter in Durban, initially challenged the adoption but a Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that it could go ahead.

Mercy was born in January 2006 to a 14-year-old girl who died soon afterwards.
