BRANGELINA BREAKS BREAD WITH NAMIBIAN OFFICIAL: African nation welcomes couple, but locals reportedly fed up with abrasive security team.
*People in Namibia have had about enough of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. According to local press reports cited by Contact Music, Jolie’s security chief, Michael “Mickey” Brett, has closed off roads and chased children away from public beaches around the resort, where the couple is reportedly preparing for the birth of their child.
Locals are said to be losing patience with Brett’s iron fist and the security team he recruited to protect the couple’s privacy. According to Contact Music, the guards are thought to be members of an apartheid-era counter-insurgency unit.
One resident tells a Namibian newspaper, "I sympathize with Brad Pitt and Angelina because they do want privacy, but on the other hand they are public figures and there is a lot of interest in their visit. From what I hear they are nice people but their security guys most certainly aren't."
Meanwhile, Samuel Sheefeni Nuuyoma, governor of the Namibian province where Brad and Angelina have been staying, told the Sunday Times of South Africa he had breakfast with the couple on Friday, and confirmed that they are planning to have their baby in the country and to give the child a local name, because Jolie "loves Namibia."
Her love affair with the country was sparked in 2002, when she was in town filming her 2002 film, “Beyond Borders.
