October 29, 2007 Oprah Breaks Down!
One of my idols talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey, broke down in tears on Saturday as she apologized for the recent alleged allegations of physical and sexual abuse at her $40 million girls’ school in South Africa.
“I trusted her (Dr Mzimane). When I appointed her, I thought she was passionate about the children of Africa.
“But, I’ve been disappointed,” Oprah said in tears last Saturday.
The father of one of the pupils had responded by telling Oprah: “It’s not your fault. We don’t blame you.”
“You trusted them. You have more passion for the school and its existence than anyone else in this country, including us parents.”
Oprah gave parents the assurance she would do everything possible to ensure that those who had been guilty of abuse would be dealt with.
It’s sad when you are trying to do good and something like this happens! Oprah’s “daughters” have accused Dr. Mzimane of failing to take action, although the girls had often complained of being grabbed by the neck, beaten and thrown against a wall, and being sworn at.

i can imagine oprah marching through those gates of the school the same way she marched through those fields saying==you told harpo to beat me! she was NOT playing then and she is NOT playing now! this is a shame on so many levels. i know OPRAH is going to handle this person for real. this is a shame. i’m so glad the parents don’t blame oprah!
i loved this part–Oprah gave parents the assurance she would do everything possible to ensure that those who had been guilty of abuse would be dealt with.

You know what, somebody is still going to find a way to make this Oprah’s fault. A damn shame. I’m glad that the parents are supporting her. I read on another website that she handed out her personal cell phone number and email address to all of the daughters. I think sh’es going above and beyond. And by the way, I am NOT an Oprah groupie. I just appreciate someone who helps others.
