The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls is a school girls only boarding school located in South Africa. Winfrey spent $40 million of her own money to open the school in 2007, and it aims at providing educational and leadership opportunities to academically gifted girls from impoverished backgrounds in South Africa.
October 2007
In October 2007, a female school staffer was accused of physically and sexually abusing students. Winfrey flew to South Africa to meet with school officials and parents on October 12.
According to the Afrikaans-language newspaper Rapport, the "dorm matron" allegedly grabbed a student by the throat and threw her against a wall. The unidentified woman is also alleged to have screamed at and assaulted her wards, as well as fondled at least one girl. The staffer has been put on probation pending an investigation.[20]
On November 1, 2007, Police Superintendent Lunge Dlamini announced that the 27 year old dorm matron had been arrested after seven students submitted statements alleging assault and various abuse at the hands of the employee.
March 2009
In March 2009 seven students were suspended for reportedly sexually harassing other students and for other sexual experimentation involving one another. Though no formal trial or hearing was held, a letter sent to one of the suspended girls' parents reportedly read: "You have been found guilty of physical contact of a sexual nature with another pupil on campus, harassment, bullying other girls on campus and of being dishonest by not telling investigators the whole truth.
