He did it together with the son of Kumalo’s brother, but this man has become a great politician and only wants to clear his son from any charges to save his image. It appears to be Absalom who murdered him, because he was afraid. Then they hear about a murder: a white man who stood up for the rights of black people has been shot dead. Together with Msimangu he finds Gertrude, and they also find a girl who says she is pregnant from Absalom, Kumalo’s son. In Johannesburg he wants to also look for his son and his brother, from whom he hasn’t had a letter in a long time. Kumalo takes the money saved for his son’s study, wich will never be used because the son is in Johannesburg and won’t return, and goes to Johannesburg. One day he reveices a letter from another Umfundisi, Theophilus Msimangu, saying that his sister Gertrude Kumalo is very ill, and Msimangu asks Kumalo to come to Johannesburg and visit Gertrude and pherhaps help her. Reverend (Umfundisi) Stephen Kumalo lives in Ndotsheni, South Africa. My first reaction was “ah nice, a bookreport, finally!” Well, I did not exactly choose this book myself, we were forced to read it by our professor in the English Language. Edition: No Idea, the copy doesn’t give a hint
