WINFREY APOLOGISES AFTER ABUSE ALLEGATIONS

LATEST: U.S. talk show queen OPRAH WINFREY has issued an apology to parents and pupils at her school in South Africa, amid allegations of sexual abuse there. Claims of misconduct within the star's $46 million (GBP23 million) all-girls academy came to light earlier this month (Oct07) when a member of staff was removed from the Johannesburg school by child protection officers. The school is now being investigated by the South African police and U.S. investigators, reports the New York Daily News. And Winfrey admits she has let down pupils and parents of those connected with the school. She says, "I've disappointed you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
