5th Post for Chapters 25-31

from page 214...

I don't understand what Msimangu means when he says that he is retiring into a community, forswearing the world and all of its possessions, and that this is the first time in South Africa that a black man has done this. What does he mean? What community? Why is he giving his money away?

Can anyone explain this?

  1. The author isn't very specific but I am assuming that he means this is the first time a black man has willingly given up his possessions and retiring into a village. There is probably some deeper message but it is hard to tell.
