FULL SUMMARY:
In chapter 2 titled "Usana", protagonist OPhezukonke reconciles with his hardships and decides to return home. OPhezukonke assures his infant child of a more comfortable life once they reach their destination. He attempts to mask the compelling hardships that await them with promises of sweets and delicacies. Arriving home, he is welcomed by an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and longing as he sees the cattle of his childhood, but he feels the sharp sting of loss as his brother, Sikhosiphi, coldly confirms the death of their father during OPhezukonke's absence. Sikhosiphi's hostility intensifies as he plans to oust OPhezukonke from their family home, claiming full inheritance rights. OPhezukonke tries to resist but is eventually forced to leave the house due to his brother's ardent insistence. Faced with the loneliness of the night and uncertainty of his future, he finds solace in his infant child whom he began to rock gently. The realization of his father's absence brings on a tide of grief and desperation. He converses with his father's grave before he sets off into the pitch dark, fearful but determined. His journey becomes entangled with paranoia, fears of potential harm from the local miscreant group, and the physical strain of his journey. He tries to enter a nearby homestead but his conscience resists. His arduous journey under the looming fear and anxieties weights on him heavily until he finally gets to hold his infant. This shift, from despair to a sense of comfort brought by his infant and poignant paternal emotions, paints a somber end to this segment of the chapter. This chapter highlights the complexities of familial relationships, inheritance disputes, and the struggle for survival against unfavorable odds. In the latter part of Chapter 2, titled "Usana", the protagonist OPhezukonke continues his melancholic journey into the night with his infant child after being driven out by his hostile brother, Sikhosiphi. The chapter reveals OPhezukonke's deep paternal concern for his infant as he refuses to burden them with the weight of his own despair, choosing instead to press on and shoulder the hardships himself. Feeling nostalgia and an intense loneliness, OPhezukonke yearns for his deceased father, hoping he would return. He is haunted by the searing pain of his brother's betrayal and is plagued by anxieties and paranoia of possible harm from miscreants in the gloomy night. This paranoia compounds the physical toll his journey takes on him, yet he stubbornly carries on for the sake of his infant child. OPhezukonke is tormented by the cries of his infant child, longing for the touch of its mother, a solace that OPhezukonke is incapable of providing. The cries of the child remind him of their shared vulnerability and the harsh realities of their circumstances. The character of Sikhosiphi re-emerges in the narrative, caught in the eerie darkness of the night like OPhezukonke and the infant. He too finds himself yearning for their father and pleading for the return of Nomcebo, hinting at a possible reconciliation. As Sikhosiphi reaches out and touches Nomcebo, he finds her cold, amplifying the anguish experienced by both the brothers. The desolation that blankets this segment of the chapter accentuates the struggle of the characters, drawing attention to their intertwined fates and prevalent themes of familial contradiction, adversity, longing, and survival.
