This time she will be staying for a bit longer than the usual quick dash to visit her school, the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls outside Henley-on-Klip, that is usually also kept as quiet as possible.
I've learned that Oprah will be here again next month, although nobody wanted to officially confirm her visit. She will be doing a Best Life seminar again, similar to the one in June 2005. However, there's only 460 seats available which should create the usual stampede for a seat to this ''rockstar event for women'' - my words - judging by what i saw when i attended the one in June 2005.
Oprah will once again talk to South African woman and share her wisdom, also visit her school and meet with the people of the local version of her magazine, O, The Oprah Magazine at Associated Magazines. A meeting with readers of O, The Oprah Magazine is not excluded and also a possibility.
Associated Magazines didn't have any comment owhen I asked them, and didn't want to confirm anything.
Furthermore its completely BUZZING in local advertising circles about another rumoured event where Oprah will apparently talk to and meet local ad execs - but catch! - they will all be women. Only female advertising people from the industry will be invited to this one.
Harpo, Oprah's production company was also less than forthcoming when I approached them with what I know and asked for confirmation.
''There's nothing to announce at this time,'' was the response from a spokesperson at Harpo.
All I can say is check the cover of the November issue of O, The Oprah Magazine and buy it if you want to attend the Best Life-seminar. The November issue of O, The Oprah Magazine should be on sale soon.
