In this wonderful novel, Theophilus Msimangu gives us his only hope for his country. Msimangu says: “I see a hope for our country, and that is that all black and white men, who do not want power or money, but only want the good of their country, come together to work for it.” This is a powerful quote said by Msimangu that is reflected in his character throughout the book. Msimangu hoped that people living in South Africa would forget about race and instead think about what would be best to help the country. Although South Africa has had a bumpy ride, it appears to be on the right path towards racial equality for all. Unfortunately, South Africa has not fully fulfilled Msimangu's ideas that people of all races work together exclusively to help the good of the country. Msimangu is a strong and important character, and throughout the book he seems to be the only character who helps everyone through the situation. times that everyone seemed to be going through. Msimangu is a young minister from Sophiatown and has a warm and generous attitude towards everything.

Msimangu explained the political and social difficulties that the black population faced in these times, which gave readers a good understanding of the daily lives of many citizens of South Africa. Between the lines of the book, readers can deduce that Msimangu is very knowledgeable about the racial injustices happening across South Africa. It is obvious that South Africa is ruled by wealth and power and is at the mercy of white repressors. Msimangu believes that… halfway through the paper… it appears that a much clearer path may be straight ahead. It takes time for the entire country to reject the idea of ​​racial non-segregation, but in time it will happen. The last places where it will be possible to eliminate racial segregation will be rural areas, since these areas are almost always reluctant to change. South Africa has reached some important milestones in its country's history of racial segregation. The first major milestone was the abolition of apartheid, and then the election of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president. These important milestones have shown that South Africa is on the right path, but has not achieved all the standards that Msimangu set for himself. Fortunately, there will be a day in the future when this will become a reality, when white men and black men will unite not for their own personal gain, but for the good of the country of South Africa..
