A jury will decide whether Oprah Winfrey defamed the former headmistress of her South African girls school while talking about an abuse scandal in 2007.
A trial is set to begin on March 29 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the defamation lawsuit filed by Lerato Mzamane against the talk show host and her production company, Harpo.
The former headmistress was immediately suspended and later fired after several students at Winfrey\'s South African leadership academy complained about abuse.
A dorm mother was later charged with abusing and assaulting students.
