FULL SUMMARY:

In Chapter 3 'Umzukulu', the narrative hones in on the distressing circumstances of an elderly character, who faces possible death at the hands of ruthless men after his wealth. Despite his pleas, the threats prevail, intensifying the old man's fear and regret about his grandchild named Sidumo whom he doesn't know personally as he grew up in Johannesburg. The old man's assailants eventually find hidden money, which amplifies their cruelty towards him; their departure leaves the elderly man in absolute despair. His thoughts turn to Sidumo, his disappointments and his amassed wealth, intended to provide for the future life of Sidumo; the intense envisioned desolation of his wealth accumulated over a lifetime, intercepted by death, is crushing for him. The old man experiences a clinical death but miraculously springs back into life in a hospital, taken care of by nurses and a doctor who reassures him of his survival chances. The focus then shifts back to Sidumo, who's informed by his mother about the detailing from the radio broadcast regarding an elder named Bhatomu Ngobese, closely aligning with the details of his own absentee grandfather. A considerable fortune is promised to the rightful grandchild by the ailing grandfather through the broadcast. Pondering his mother's revelation, Sidumo makes the decision to visit the hospital. In the hospital, uncertainty and suspense color Sidumo's demeanor as he navigates the bureaucracy and merciful care to find the ailing old man, who is his very own grandfather. The chapter concludes with their tearful reunion, leaving a promise of chance for both Sidumo and his grandfather, the eponymous 'umzukulu'.
