One Gauteng woman named Amelia was in KwaZulu-Natal to witness the Zulu King ascend to the throne and let Misuzulu know she is available for marriage.

In an interview with an eNCA reporter, Amelia was asked why she travelled to KwaZulu-Natal, and she explained that she heard that Misuzulu would be at KwaKhangelamankengane Royal Palace in Nongoma and wanted to make her presence known.
