Oprah's African School parallels a scene about abuse of indigenous people from the series 1923? Mark Zuckerberg tried to sue the descendants of landowners protected under Kuleana?
According to Today,
“A former dormitory employee has been arrested yesterday by the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit on several charges of abuse,” Lungelo Dlamini, spokesperson for the South African police’s Child Protection Unit, said in a statement released to the press.
Makopo, 27, turned herself in early Friday to the Vereeniging South Africa police station, just 15 miles outside of Winfrey’s school.
Dlamini revealed the ex-employee will be in court on Monday to face the multiple charges that include alleged assault, indecent assault, criminal injury and soliciting underage girls to perform indecent acts.
According to WISTV channel 10
Oprah Winfrey has spent tens of millions of dollars to open up a leadership academy for girls outside of Johannesburg in January. But since then, she's taken some hits for it, taken some criticism for it - criticism from parents who say the school may be too strict, alleging that they didn't get access to their children as they wanted to.
But this allegation is the most serious by far.
According to reports in South Africa, it involves a girl who had run away from the school recently. She made claims against one of the dorm mothers, saying things like this woman had been abusing the girls physically and verbally - that she was using profanity and most seriously, that she had sexually abused at least one of the children there.
According to CBS News,
A police spokesman, Supt. Lungelo Dlamini, said the 27-year-old woman, a dormitory matron at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, was arrested on Thursday by the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Unit.
"Several charges including alleged assault, indecent assault, criminal injury and soliciting underage girls to perform indecent acts are being investigated against her," Dlamini said.
At least seven victims have submitted statements, he said.
According to NBC Washington Channel 4
Oprah Winfrey's boarding school in South Africa has been hit with a second sex scandal since opening two years ago.
The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy School for Girls suspended seven students last week for sexually harassing and fondling classmates, the New York Daily News reported.
The News quoted from a South Africa newspaper that reported one 15-year-old had urged her victims to lie to investigators about what happened. Others were accused of trying to entice students at the all-girl academy into lesbian encounters, the News reported.
A Winfrey spokesperson confirmed the girls' suspension to the News, but was mum on details.
The incident is the second sexually-related scandal to rock the $46 million school, which Chicago-based talk show host and media mogul Winfrey opened in Jan. 2007 to educate poor South African girls who showed strong academic potential.
Just 10 months after the school opened, the school's dorm matron, Virginia Makgobo, was accused of sex abuse and other charges involving 15 girls. She will appear in court in June, according to the News.
According to Sportskeeda,
This is not the first time the television host has had to deal with a scandal related to the school. In 2011, law enforcement investigated a body of a newborn that was found in one of the student’s bags. They confirmed that a 17-year-old girl gave birth at the institution. No charges were filed against the girl.
Shortly after the school opened in 2007, the school matron Virginia Tiny Makopo was charged with s*xually molesting several of the girls. When the crime came to light, Winfrey went on to fire the school’s headmistress Lerato Nomvuyo Mzamane. Winfrey also said in a statement:

According to the Guardian,
The “quiet title” suits, first reported by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, are used to clarify the often complicated history of land ownership in Hawaii and can result in owners being forced to sell their land at auction. In some cases, defendants are even required to pay the legal fees of the plaintiff – in this case, the world’s fifth richest man.
Zuckerberg’s lawsuits have prompted a backlash from locals who place the billionaire within a long, painful history of western conquest and Native Hawaiian dispossession.
“This is the face of neocolonialism,” said Kapua Sproat, a law professor at the University of Hawaii who is originally from Kauai. “Even though a forced sale may not physically displace people, it’s the last nail in the coffin of separating us from the land.”
“For us, as Native Hawaiians, the land is an ancestor. It’s a grandparent,” she added. “You just don’t sell your grandmother.”

Kauai, known as the Garden Island, has long been a favorite playground of holidaymakers, Hollywood film-makers and millionaires on their second or third homes. The vine-choked forests, plunging waterfalls and broad sand beaches have served as the backdrops for films including Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean while the laid-back rural cool and mellow tropical vibe has attracted rock stars, celebrities and at least one Russian billionaire.
But the acquisition of vacation homes by wealthy malihini (newcomers) exacerbates a social chasm keenly felt by kamaaina (native-born or longtime residents of Hawaii).
“People have always seen the value of living in Hawaii, in paradise, and for many generations now, it’s been a detriment to us,” said Kauai council member Mason Chock. “They’ve come in and purchased land and raised the value so much. Only people from abroad or outside Kauai can even afford to live in Kauai now.”
Nearby a bluff overlooking north Pacific swells, a one-mile lava-rock wall demarcates a property which, from the road, is attractive but unremarkable. A sign reads “thank you for not trespassing”, but nothing suggests the land belongs to the Facebook CEO.
The problem is that it doesn’t. Not all of it, anyway.
Before westerners came to Hawaii, stewardship of the land, or ‘āina, was a collective responsibility, characterized by the familial relationship to the land described by Sproat. Privatization came in 1848 with the Māhele, which began the process of divvying up parcels between the king, the government and the people. The Kuleana Act of 1850 was intended to allow Native Hawaiians to claim title to lands they were cultivating, but ultimately less than 1% of Hawaii’s land area was granted to indigenous people.
Zuckerberg’s lawyer and representatives did not respond to repeated inquiries from the Guardian, but in a Facebook post on 19 January, the CEO defended his lawsuits as a good-faith effort “to find all these partial owners so we can pay them their fair share”. He is also reportedly supported by one of the partial owners of the kuleana land, Carlos Andrade, a retired professor of Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawaii.
Andrade is assisting Zuckerberg on the quiet title process, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. He did not respond to a query from the Guardian.
But for others, Zuckerberg’s lawsuits are unnecessary and unneighborly.
“Zuckerberg is saying he wants to respect the local culture and Hawaiian values but … I was always taught that if there was a dispute with somebody you go and knock on their door, sit down, and you kukakuka [discuss] and you hooponopono [make it right],” said Hawaii state representative Kaniela Ing of Maui. “You don’t initiate conversation by filing a lawsuit.”
Ing criticized Zuckerberg as “using the same legal loopholes sugar barons in Hawaii exploited centuries ago”, and said he planned to introduce state legislation to reform the quiet title process. One proposal would let kuleana owners group together and form a trust, in order to achieve a fairer price for their land.
Zuckerberg had already raised hackles by building the mile-long wall, and the lawsuits have also raised concerns about whether Zuckerberg will try to block people from accessing a public beach through his private property.

Many Native Hawaiians, including Sproat’s family, travel regularly to Pilaa beach to fish and gather seaweed, which she called an “important icebox” for people pursuing the traditional lifestyle.
“We have been waiting for contact,” said Hope Kallai, who lives on the same street as Zuckerberg, one property away. Kallai said she and other neighbors have attempted to reach out through Zuckerberg’s lawyers and ranch manager with no success. They did know that the billionaire was in town for Christmas, though, because they saw security guards parked on the road.
“He’s kind of in a bubble. It would be much better if we could sit in a circle and talk. He talks about building bridges and not walls,” Kallai said. “He built a six-foot wall.”
According to Barr Attorney's dot com
- The parcels, known as kuleana, within Mr. Zuckerberg’s estate
- were purchased in 1882 by a Portuguese immigrant named Manuel Rapozo.
- When he died intestate {without a will or documentation of a will] in 1928, the land was passed on to his seven children.
Kuleana are granted unique access rights
anyone living on the land within Mr. Zuckerberg’s estate is permitted to move freely on his surrounding property.
It was in 1928 that this land under Kuleana was protected by the ancestors.
Since 2016, the billionaire has tried to purchase those kuleana for himself. Some locals, like Kapua Sproat, a Law Professor at the University of Hawaii, believe Mr. Zuckerberg is the “face of neocolonialism.” Like generations of foreigners before him, they argue, the CEO is alienating natives from their ancestral homes.
Like generations of foreigners before him, they argue, the CEO is alienating natives from their ancestral homes. Others believe Mr. Zuckerberg is making the best of a bad situation. If he hadn’t bought the 700-acre property, it may have been converted into a sprawling residential development. Furthermore, the billionaire is making an effort to identify the hundreds of owners of the kuleana land so that they can all be compensated. To this end, he filed a series of quiet title claims in late 2016. Quiet title suits are meant to establish the title rights to a property before a judge. Often, they are used when the ownership of a property is unclear or when there are numerous claimants to the title. If two or more co-owners disagree, the property in question can be put up for auction.
In an apparent effort to avoid public backlash, Mr. Zuckerberg enlisted Carlos Andrade to do his bidding for him. Mr. Andrade, a native Hawaiian and part-owner of the disputed kuleana, made a bid for the four parcels in March. Wayne Rapozo, the leader of a group of family members opposed to the sale, successfully outbid Mr. Andrade. But earlier this month, Mr. Andrade reopened the bidding and won the title to all four parcels for over $2 million. Mr. Rapozo, a corporate attorney, suspects Mr. Zuckerberg fronted Mr. Andrade the money to buy the properties, and he expects Mr. Andrade to now sell the properties back to his accomplice.
Oprah Reacts To Getting CANCELLED For STEALING Land Amid Maui Fires
Interesting? Weird even?
You decide!
It is claimed that a sudden fire happened, yet Oprah's real estate was unscathed.
Do you find that interesting?
There are claims that due to elitists with big bucks buying up land in Hawaii, natives are being priced out of their ancestral home.
Oprah has been a part time resident of Maui since the early 2000's.
According to Architectural Digest
- After over 15 years of living in Maui part-time, Oprah Winfrey spent the last few months majorly expanding her property holdings in the Aloha state
according to a report from local news outlet KITV4 - the media mogul spent about $6.6 million on four parcels of agricultural land totaling 870 acres in Kula, Maui, per Maui Now.
- Two of those parcels were sold by ʻUlupalakua Ranch last month:
one 520-acre plot for $3.89 million
another 330 acres for $2.47 million. - Near the end of last year, Winfrey acquired an additional two 10-acre swaths of land, each for $100,000.
The talk show trailblazer already owned over 100 acres of Maui land, according to the report, meaning Winfrey now owns roughly 1,000 acres on the island. The acquisition was met with mixed reactions from local residents, some of whom worried that the purchase would contribute to the displacement of native Hawaiians.
Winfrey maintains her primary residence at her 70-acre “Promised Land” ranch in Montecito, California.
Flash Forward from 2018 to 2023 and there seems to be a very different kind of mud appearing!
Interesting? You decide!
Montecito is known as the home to a number of prominent entertainment industry figures. Many of them were sending messages of support to neighbors whose lives or homes were lost.
Rob Lowe wrote: "Mourning the dead in our little town tonight. Praying for the survivors and preparing for whatever may come. #Montecito."
He also noted that his neighbor Winfrey's home was being used as a staging ground for helicopter rescues.

Did you know the Maui police chief
who was also the incident commander in the Las Vegas shooting
is also the #MauiCoronor, #MauiPoliceChief?
From MedPage Today
Aerial images of Lahaina -- former capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii and a lovely, historic port town of 13,000 people -- look like a war zone. Most of the buildings have collapsed and burned to the ground. Ash and debris cover the earth. But in my experience, you still cannot comprehend the scale of a disaster such as this from photos -- you have to be on the ground to see it and smell it and feel it. With your feet on the ground you breathe the toxic air, feel the pulverized rubble and heat-shattered glass, assess the impediments to transport, and experience first-hand the difficulties in communicating in an environment where networks have literally melted down. On the ground, it's a vast field of ruin, and somewhere in there are human remains that no longer resemble anything human.
One of the biggest challenges to the recovery of these remains in the ruins of Lahaina will be in finding and accurately counting them. The missing currently number over a thousand, and when decedents are located in the rubble, their bodies may not have any identifying features due to the destructiveness of the blaze. Fires rarely incinerate human bones completely, but under the temperatures that the Maui fires generated, bones will become very fragile. They look like black chalk, and are hard to distinguish from surrounding debris like concrete and charred drywall. Over 40 trained cadaver-detection dogs have been brought into Lahaina and are currently doing their job, guiding forensic anthropologists -- experts in the identification and recovery of human skeletal remains. When bones and other remains are found, the anthropologists will have to first confirm they are human.
I worked on the 9/11 recovery effort on the island of Manhattan. The scenes I'm seeing on the island of Maui bring those experiences back to me now. A disaster like this one unfolds over hours, but the devastation to a community will have repercussions for years to come. With donations, federal support, and a whole lot of aloha, I am hopeful that Lahaina will rebuild and return to paradise.
Here is a linkopens in a new tab or window to a GoFundMe from the company that runs the condo complex where our family used to visit and hope to again, for staff who lost their homes in Lahaina.

Conflict of interest with #Pelletier being both Chief of Police AND Coroner?
You decide!
Families living in a small 5.7 mile area?
What happened to all of the children sent home from school that day?
An estimated 700 gallons of diesel fuel spilled at the Maui Space Surveillance Complex located at the summit of Haleakalā, the US Pacific Air Forces reported.
Authorities pointed toward a mechanical issue in which a diesel fuel pump for an onsite backup generator failed to shut off during the night on Sunday, Jan. 29.
Literally encodes 111!
So basically an oil spill took place on a volcano considered sacred land?
Same are that was on fire?
https://www.mauinews.com/news/local-news/2023/04/treatment-of-fuel-spill-area-may-begin-in-2024/
Phillip Wagenbach, 15th Space Surveillance Squadron Commander in the U.S. Space Force, said Wednesday night that the lengthy timeline for treatment is because “it’s a very strict imperative that we do not remove soil from the summit due to the sacred nature of the space.”
“In a less sacred place, the standard operation or procedure is to dig it all up and throw it in hazardous waste and that’s absolutely not the right answer here,” Wagenbach said to about 10 people at a community meeting at the University of Hawai’i Maui College campus in Kahului. “We are going to be very deliberate and very mindful about how we proceed.”
Remediation efforts follow a Jan. 29 incident that involved an on-site backup generator pump failing to shut off. An estimated “worst-case scenario” 700 gallons of diesel fuel spilled onto a concrete pad and into the surrounding soil, he said.
https://www.mauinews.com/news/local-news/2023/04/treatment-of-fuel-spill-area-may-begin-in-2024/
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - For the first time, the state health department is describing video that hasn’t been released to the public showing the toxic spill at Red Hill. It happened more than two months ago, but the public is still in the dark about what actually happened.
In early December, the Department of Health and U.S. Environmental Protection Agenda viewed military video of the November 28 spill of 1,300 gallons of toxic firefighting foam concentrate or AFFF from the Red Hill Bulk Storage Fuel Facility.
