BONTV News Update: Oprah Apologizes In Africa


"I've disappointed you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

Oprah Winfrey was back in Africa where she shed tears, apologized and asked forgiveness of the parents of the African girls who currently attend her all girls school in South Africa.

You may recall a few weeks ago when allegations were made that a matron at the school had fondled and physically abused students. Since then, the school's principal and that matron were put on administrative leave. Oprah expresses that she 'trusted' the principal but was 'disappointed'. Parents in turn, consoled Oprah, letting her know it wasn't her 'fault'.

As a result of this incident, Oprah has given all the students at the school her personal phone number and email address so that they can contact her if needed.
