QUiz 2 Commentary Question
“Yes, she is very sick. But it is not that kind of sickness. It is another, a worse kind of sickness.”

Comment fully by Mohamed El Touny 7C

Msimangu said these words to Kumalo at the Mission House in Johannesburg when Kumalo asked him about Gertrude and her sickness. Gertrude went to Johannesburg to look for her husband who went there and stopped writing letters and never came back. Msimangu asked Kumalo to come to Johannesburg to help his sick sister. When Kumalo arrives there, he knew that she is not physically sick, but spiritually. She sleeps with men to gain money to get food for her child and became a sinner. Gertrude is morally corrupt, but because Kumalo is a man of God and religion, immorality is distasteful to him and really upsetting. Kumalo was confronted with his first severe disappointment when he learns the truth about his sister. He found himself in a situation he has never encountered before. He did not know how to respond or what to do. This is a clear example of people who go to Johannesburg and change their values.
