BREAKING. Toldya! Oprah here in November for O Magazine. ONLY 460 places. Here's how you can get to see her!

You're reading it here first. On Saturday I was first to break the news although nobody wanted to speak, about Oprah Winfrey's visit to South Africa in November.

Associated Magazine who publishes the local version of O, The Oprah Magazine just spilled all the details on how to get access to this exclusive event. Oh, and here's is the new November cover that is on sale from TODAY. (Which, by the way you need to get for a unique number if you want to buy a ticket.)

Here's all you need to know:

Oprah Winfrey's visit with readers will be called the ''You Have the Power'' event.

It will take place on 30 November in Johannesburg and will be moderated by O, The Oprah Magazine editor Samantha Page. ''This is the second time our readers will have the opportunity to be in the company of one of the most infuential women in the world,'' says Samantha.
''We are very excited and absolutely thrilled to host Ms Winfrey and give O Magazine readers the opportunity to attend what promises to be an inspirational morning.''

Readers of O, The Oprah Magazine must buy the November issue on sale now for a unique number printed on the inside.

Just kidding.

Freshlyground will provide the music entertainment on the day.

BREAKING. Oprah Winfrey back in South Africa in November for another 'Best Life' visit.

You're reading it here first. I can be first to break the news that Oprah Winfrey will be back in South Africa in November again for a slightly longer stay and for speaking with women again and sharing some personal life wisdom in another ''Best Life''-seminar in Johannesburg.

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.
