OPRAH SCHOOL TRIAL UNDERWAY

Virginia “Tiny” Makopo appeared at Sebokeng court today as her trial got underway today in Johannesburg.

The former dormitory matron at Oprah Winfrey’s school in South Africa is pleading “not guilty” to 14 charges including indecent assault and soliciting underage girls to perform indecent acts. She pleaded not guilty to 14 charges of indecent assault, common assault, verbal abuse, soliciting a minor to perform indecent acts and criminal injury

The trial — during which the girls are expected to provide accounts of the abuse — is expected to run through Friday.

No sign of Oprah in court….so far.

    What kind of school is it.. when they let this go on for so long.. And than turn around
    and say Oprah doesn’t need to be here…YES she does.. she owns the school…
    Why not just shut it down… if you don’t care about your own school.. Hope those
    kids have proof of what she did..And that the public finally gets to hear about it now.

    Who did these girls go to when it happened . Why not get her to show up too..

    If it is private than leave it that way.. No one needs to hear about a case that involved
    Oprah Winfrey..

    I really don’t think it’s fair to blame what happened in the school on Oprah. It’s the principal of the school that should have been keeping a closer eye on things. How was Oprah meant to do thorough checks of the school from the States? And there is no way of knowing what evil people are capable of when you employ them. I just feel for the poor children involved. They had this wonderful opportunity that has ended up ruining their lives and leaving them scarred.

    I agree with you Stephi.
