Oprah to testify in defamation case over abuse at academy

OPRAH Winfrey and several schoolgirls allegedly abused at her academy in South Africa are expected to testify at an upcoming trial in Philadelphia.

The school’s former headmistress is suing Winfrey for defamation over remarks Winfrey made during the 2007 sex-abuse scandal.

When news of the scandal broke, Winfrey said she had “lost confidence” in the headmistress, Nomvuyo Mzamane, and was “cleaning house from top to bottom”.
