Tweeting from the event, Heat magazine quoted Bonbosin, who said: “Change is not about when you can get out of something. It’s how you are going to do it.”

Tlhabi, who took the stage a merely six days after giving birth, also shared some words of wisdom , saying: “The life partner you choose should be happy with the choices you make in life and support you in achieving your goals”

And Morgenstern said: “Get rid of the clutter in your life and create space for yourself to move and breathe in.” When it was finally time for Oprah to take the stage, Heat kept fans informed with their tweets.

“Oprah Winfrey about to come on stage. Excitement building up in the audience,” they wrote.

They further reported that she told them “her mom and dad went on one date and she was conceived” and in closing admitted that she made judgement errors with her school in SA and her network but that “I have the right team now”.
