Oprah Winfrey has settled a lawsuit filed against her by the former head of the girls' school in Africa she founded in 2007, attorneys for Winfrey and Lerato Nomvuyo Mzamane said.
"The two parties met woman to woman without their lawyers and are happy that they could resolve this dispute peacefully to their mutual satisfaction," the attorneys said in a joint statement. "Ms. Winfrey testified in her deposition that she did not intend the implications placed on her words by the plaintiff. Ms. Mzamane testified in her deposition that she has no evidence that Ms. Winfrey knowingly made a false statement about her or entertained serious doubt about the truth of what she said. We are pleased both parties have reached a conclusion."

I don't even know why I keep coming to this site. Cnn has become such a tabloid, it is not even funny.

Oh come on! How much?
I think 'mimi' that the school is in South Africa, I saw a special about the opening of the school a few years ago and i think that's where it's located. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the exact city.
Ah, that's good news. alls well that ends well I alway say.
Ms. Winfry handled that with class.
Joy! this very important 'news' story makes me day; wait, it makes my year! Please, more Oprah news! Important world event done only as CNN, the official Oprah station, can do! Let me go read People so I can get real news!
Oprah, I have not watched you since the eighties, but when you start something follow it through. Do not toss money out and say look at me, I am black and proud. Follow what you start do not let others in Africa follow it for you. Africa is corrupt as are the people that deal with it?
