Oprah Winfrey says she will close her school for girls in South Africa

Oprah Winfrey says she will close the school for underprivileged girls she set up in South Africa two decades ago at the end of next year.

The academy at Henley-on-Klip ends in its current form by late 2027, replaced by a national scholarship intended to fund roughly twice as many South African girls.

Oprah Winfrey will close the prestigious girls' school she founded in South Africa after the 2027 academic year, marking the end of nearly two decades of campus-based education.

Winfrey’s charitable foundation ran and funded the school, but it was always part of the agreement that the academy campus near Johannesburg be ultimately handed over to the provincial education department, the academy said.
