Namibia Deports Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Paparazzi  4/24/06

The authorities in Namibia have reportedly ordered the deportation of one South African and three French photographers who have been snapping Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt during their holiday in the country.

According to South African newspaper the Sunday Times, the crackdown on the paparazzi has the backing of Namibian Prime Minister Nahas Angula.

Angula told the media surrounding Pitt and Jolie's heavily guarded holiday retreat, "This lady is expecting.

"You guys are harassing her. Why don't you allow her some privacy? Harassment is not allowed in Namibia. If a person says they don't want to be photographed then, of course, that person deserves protection."

And an article published in yesterday's edition of the Sunday Times reads, "Three French paparazzi photographers were ordered to leave this week or face arrest.

"Others - including a Sunday Times photographer - have been issued letters by the country's Directorate of Immigration sating they are 'prohibited/illegal immigrants' and given 48 hours to pack up and leave or face arrest."

Jolie and Pitt issued a statement this weekend (22-23APR06) asking for their privacy to be respected at this delicate stage of the Tomb Raider beauty's pregnancy.
