Avril or Amelia as she is now fondly known as, captured South Africa’s attention when she appeared on our screens saying she wanted to be the very first white Zulu queen.
During preparations for the ukungena esibayeni (the entering of the kraal ceremony), an eNCA reporter interviewed people in the crowd.
One person that stood out was a white woman dressed in a white T-shirt and decorative beads, saying she travelled all the way from Gauteng.
And now, thanks to that video, Avril/Amelia has found global fame.
During an interview with the 5 Breakfast team, Dan Corder asked her about the video which has now gone worldwide.

“Oh my word. I’ve got big plans, obviously. I need to make sure I put my best foot forward,” she laughed.
In response, Corder mentioned that King Misuzulu had actually seen the video and he “was tickled”.
“That makes me feel very excited. The closer we get to this meeting, the more likely that I might stand a chance,” said Avril.
