From the text:
- You wrote nothing of this, brother.
-No, how could I write? You people in Ndotsheni do not understand the way life is in Johannesburg. I thought it better not to write.
- That is why you stopped writing?
-Well, well, that could be why I stopped. Trouble, brother, unnecessary trouble.
— But I do not understand. How is life different in Johannesburg?
-Well, that is difficult. Do you mind if I speak in English? I can explain these things better in English.
- Speak in English, then, brother.
-You see I have had an experience here in Johannesburg. It is not like Ndotsheni. One must live here to understand it. He looked at his brother. Something new is happening here, he said.
