I've seen most of my favourite rock stars in concert as they've visited sunny SA over the past decade or so, but rarely in my life have I seen the upwell of emotion that was present at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday as 3200 women, all dressed to impress, screamed for Oprah Winfrey as she entered a plainly dramatic stage, and proceeded to hold us captive for three hours - her only prop a microphone and her awesome personality. The floor vibrated under our feet as Oprah arrived, dressed in a simple green dress. Whatever you may think of her pop-psychology, I don't believe anyone who has ever met her or heard her speak, will walk away untouched. All I can say is WOW and well done to our publishing icon Jane Raphaely, O editor, Kgomotso Matsunyane and the Associated Magazines team for managing to get a window in Ms Winfrey's schedule to present her 'Live Your Best Life' road show here. And for those who didn't get a ticket in time to this sold out event - she has promised to come back, and I for one will be first in line to buy tickets!
Have a good one!
