TV chat show mega-star Oprah Winfrey has taken responsibility for a sex and physical abuse scandal at a school for underprivileged girls she set up in South Africa.

The fabulously wealthy, American-born talk show host has tearfully apologised to angry parents and begged them to forgive her for alleged abuse.

"I've disappointed you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry," Winfrey told parents after flying into South Africa to attend an emergency meeting in a packed marquee tent on the school premises at Henley-on-Klip.

I really feel bad this happened. As you know Matt we have 30 children in Uganda at our orphange. I have 18 on staff there, God forbid this would happen at New Destiny. I pray it never does.

It sounds like Oprah stepped up to the plate and didn't try to cover it up. So at least these kids will now have some protection.
