Kumalo wishes to treat the pregnant girl as family, recognizing that she is carrying his grandchild and wanting to help her thrive. Msimangu, on the other hand, disgustedly treats the girl like a prostitute, claiming the baby might not even be Absalom’s. He urges Kumalo against taking any responsibility for the girl or baby.
