Explain why Msimangu wants to see Mrs. Mkize alone rather than telling Kumalo after Mrs. Ndlela tells him the police are looking for Absalom.

Msimangu wants to visit Mrs. Mkize alone because he does not want to upset Kumalo further until there is definitive news. He also knows the financial strain Kumalo is under, and another cab ride to Alexandra is beyond Kumalo’s means. Finally, he knows Mrs. Mkize is more likely to speak to him alone than with Kumalo.
