Ndotsheni’s church is the heart of the village community. Kumalo oversees the church. It is the ultimate symbol of the village’s decline because the roof leaks and there is no money to repair it. James Jarvis’ generous offer to rebuild it near the end of the novel is a metaphor for the impending rejuvenation of Ndotsheni.
