Oprah Winfrey has said her South African school for girls, which she founded, will close after nearly two decades of operation. Multiple reports state that the decision was communicated by Winfrey, indicating the school is set to end its activities following about 20 years. The outlets describe the school as a long-running initiative established by Winfrey to educate and support girls in South Africa. While the reports agree on the closing announcement and the approximate duration of the school’s operation, they do not provide extensive additional details such as the specific closure date, the reasons for shutting down, or what will happen to students and staff afterward. The reporting focuses primarily on Winfrey’s statement that the school will no longer remain open, marking the end of an initiative that has been active for close to two decades.
