Media Mogul and Billionaire Oprah Winfrey says she will close the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa at the end of next year after nearly 20 years of operation.
The school, opened in 2007, has helped more than 500 girls pursue education opportunities locally and internationally.
Oprah said her mission of empowering young women through education will continue through a national scholarship programme.
The Gauteng provincial government will take over the 52-acre campus and ensure current students complete their studies.
