PJ Powers is one of South Africa's best known singers. She started her career during the apartheid era of the 1980s and became the first white woman to perform to an all-black audience in the Soweto township. Melissa Dohme from Florida was viciously attacked by her ex-boyfriend and left for dead. But against all the odds she survived. Now she's found love in an unlikely place.
