- Share via
Talk show host Oprah Winfrey said she was “cleaning house” at her all-girl academy in South Africa after a dormitory matron was charged with abusing students.
Winfrey said she had not renewed the headmistress’ contract. “We are removing the dorm parents, and as I have said to the girls, cleaning house,” she said in Chicago.
Former dormitory matron Virginia Mokgobo, 27, was charged with assault, indecent assault and soliciting underage girls to perform indecent acts.
She was freed on $458 bail. She has said she is not guilty but was not asked to enter a plea.
