Talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, has been sued in U.S. Court, by the former headmistress of her Africa based girls school. Nomvuyo Mzamane, filed suit against Winfrey for defamation of character, alleging the talk show host issued derogatory statements about her covering up a sex abuse scandal that transpired at the school in South Africa.

Nomvuyo Mzamane insists she did not cover up the abuse scandal and Winfrey's words to the press, rendered her unemployable for a year, ruining her name and costing her income. A judge in Philadelphia issued a 128 page ruling this week, stating the case can proceed, which means Oprah must settle or face a civil trial.

If the former headmistress did actually know about the sexual abuse transpiring against the underage girls at the school and tried to cover it up, as Winfrey publicly stated and if Oprah can actually prove her claims in court, Nomvuyo Mzamane is going to owe the talk show host substantial legal fees.

However, if Nomvuyo Mzamane proves she did not engage in a cover up and had no knowledge of the abuse that was transpiring at the school, Winfrey is going to be forced to pay her six to seven figures, via a legal judgment.

The Judiciary Report commends the judge for attempting to ascertain the truth, regarding what truly transpired.

Trial Tied Into South Africa Sex Abuse Scandal

Updated: 10:07 am EDT March 17,2010 - PHILADELPHIA -- Talk show host and media magnate Oprah Winfrey is expected to spend two weeks defending herself at trial in a defamation case linked to the sex-abuse scandal at her girls school in South Africa.

A federal judge this week refused to dismiss the suit filed by Winfrey's ex-headmistress, paving the way for a March 29 trial in Philadelphia.

The billionaire talk show host, as a named defendant, must be in court and has rearranged her TV production schedule to do so, her lawyers said in a recent court filing. She also appears likely to be called as a witness.

After the abuse complaints surfaced in 2007, Winfrey said she had "lost confidence" in headmistress Nomvuyo Mzamane and was "cleaning house from top to bottom." ...

Sir Alex Ferguson Could Face Fine For BBC Boycott

Sanctions For Continued Snub

Alex Ferguson

Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson, is facing sanctions if he continues to boycott the BBC, for doing a terrible piece on his son, who was later cleared of wrongdoing. I don't know why certain people at the BBC like to get so personal and defamatory with others, spooling in their family members into abuses of the Queen's airwaves.

Exactly who's running the BBC that they have fallen afoul of so many people. It is supposed to be a government trust, paid for by Britons' tax dollars, yet certain social and political activists seek employment there to incite trouble and their own agenda, that sometimes breaks the law.

Man U faces sanctions for Ferguson's BBC boycott

LONDON — Manchester United will be punished by the English Premier League if manager Alex Ferguson keeps boycotting the British Broadcasting Corporation in the upcoming season.

Ferguson — the most successful manager in British soccer history — has refused to speak to the BBC for six years since an investigation was aired questioning the business dealings of his son Jason, who was then working as a soccer agent. He was not found guilty of wrongdoing.

The Premier League is introducing the new rule, which will take effect at the start of the season in August. It will force the 68-year-old Ferguson to speak to the BBC, which pays to show highlights of matches on its popular evening Match of the Day program, and BBC Radio Five Live, which airs live commentaries...
