Kumalo immediately falls victim to a con artist upon arriving in the city. A man offers to help him get the bus to Sophiatown, but instead takes Kumalo’s fare money and leaves him stranded. Kumalo fears the city and its immorality, and this scammer feeds into his believe that the city is a scary and untrustworthy place.
