Jolie in 'Taking Lives'
South African newspapers report that journalists were told to leave the country on threat of arrest after the couple issued a statement asking to be left alone.
"We love Africa and to be here in Namibia with our family is very special for us," said the statement, signed by both the stars. "To the local people who have been so kind and gracious, thank you for making us feel at home.
"As for the press, we kindly ask for privacy so that we can enjoy this beautiful country with our children."
Later Namibia's Prime Minister Nahas Angula supported the moves to protect the couple.
"This lady is expecting," he told South Africa's Sunday Times. "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."
Last week a source claimed that Jolie would give birth to her baby while in the county, where the family are staying in the scenic area of sand dunes near former colonial town Swakopmond.
Some photographs have been taken of the family – despite the security – and they were spotted at a KFC in the area.
