Some time in mid-1999, a young man from the village of Masameni in southern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, 'proposed love' to Zandile, a 16-year old girl from the nearby village of Makholweni. She promptly refused his attentions. But the man, named Amu, did not give up, and his persistence eventually weakened her resolve. By December that same year, Zandile 'fell in love' with him.
