Cape Town - Oprah Winfrey is making plans to host a New Year's party in South Africa for her A-list Hollywood friends.
The queen of talk plans to bring some of her best friends including Gayle King, Julia Roberts, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley with her during her next visit to the country towards the end of the year.
Die Burger has heard confidentially that Winfrey plans to be in South Africa early next year to officially open her school, the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, some time between January 2 and 9.
The star has been closely involved with even the smallest detail for the school at Henley-on-Klip outside Johannesburg - from choosing the curtain patterns to the building plans.
Oprah is expected to invite 100 of her closest celebrity pals to the bash as well as former President Nelson Mandela.
