The pregnant girl tells Kumalo she would be happy to live in a quiet place like Ndotsheni far away from the city. Because her father abandoned her and her mother was an alcoholic who could not take care of her, the girl has spent a long time having to do whatever necessary to take care of herself. She is excited at the prospect of belonging to a real family that will care for her.
