Jolie has special reason to give birth in Namibia

Angelina Jolie has a special reason to give birth for the first time in Namibia, despite malaria threats and other concerns. It's where she first became a mother.

Jolie once referred to the African nation as "the cradle of human kind" and now American magazine Life & Style has uncovered why Namibia is so precious to Jolie.

The actress and activist first took custody of her adopted Cambodian son Maddox there back in 2002.

Africa has become a special place for Jolie. It's where she holidayed with Brad Pitt a year ago, letting the world know that reports of a romance were true.

She then adopted another baby in Africa, Ethiopian Zahara, last summer.
