In hoofstuk 2 kom Buyi se moeder, uitgeput en sagmoedig, tuis van haar werk. Met inkopie-sakke in die een hand en 'n skeef hangende pizza-boks in die ander, vra sy haar seun om hulp. Buyi, ongelukkig dat dit alweer pizza vir aandete is, beklaag hom, maar help sy moeder uiteindelik met die sakke. Terwyl hulle praat, kla Buyi se moeder oor die vuil kombuis, iets waarmee Buyi wegskram. Volgens hom moet haar nieteenstaande, sy ma steeds na die huis en sy sorg. Buyi se moeder wys op die uitdagings wat sy ondervind om 'n huis alleen te handhaaf, insluitend die finansiële spanning om kos op die tafel te hou. Buyi probeer haar gerusstel, maar sy ma is duidelik hartseer en gefrustreer. Dan draai die gesprek na 'n dringender kwessie. Ontsteld deel Buyi se ma mee dat sy besluit het dat hy sy pa, Themba, gaan ontmoet - 'n man wat hy nog nooit voorheen ontmoet het nie. Buyi se moeder het hom verskeie kere gebel en hom ingelig oor hulle finansiële probleme en dat dit tyd is dat hy na sy seun begin omsien. Die hoofstuk eindig met 'n shock as Buyi se ma meedeel dat hy na Suid-Afrika gaan verhuis om by sy pa te woon. Hierdie nuus verwar en beangstig Buyi.
