Oprah Winfrey a Zulu?

US chat show host could be a Zulu

. . . The African-American chat-show host announced during a recent visit to South Africa that she had had a DNA test that had shown her to be a Zulu.

She also told South Africans she felt "at home" in the country.

"I went in search of my roots and had my DNA tested, and I am a Zulu," Ms Winfrey said at a seminar in Johannesburg last week. . . . http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4096706.stm

well I think that's just great. Really. Does this mean she will move her program
to So Africa? Probably not any time soon. What, give up all her celebrity status
to the brain dead fans in the US?

Seriously - with her money she could start building school, libraries, shopping
malls. Oh wait, they already have that in So Africa.


South Africa nevertheless has a special place in Ms Winfrey's heart.

"I'm crazy about the South African accent," she said. "I wish I had been born here."

That comment ranks right up there with Mariah Carey's, "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
