South African Headmistress Sues Oprah

Oprah Winfrey has been sued by the headmistress, Nomvuyo Mzamane, of her school in South Africa, the South African Leadership Academy for Girls.  Nomvuyo has filed a civil suit because she says that Oprah,

"launched what amounted to a defamatory campaign" against Mzamane late last year (07) by implying that Mzamane is "untrustworthy, failed the students of the academy, did not care about the students at the academy, knew of alleged physical and sexual abuse at the academy and participated in a cover-up of the alleged abuse."

It was about a year ago that Oprah first told the media that one of the dorm matrons had assaulted and abused six students at the school.

Really, how can you fight Oprah?  At best Nomvuyoc could get some kind of payout, and at worst her lawyers will most likely be crushed by Oprah's top notch legal team.  We all know Oprah can afford the best.
