"Ndotsheni is still in darkness, but the light will come there also. For it is the dawn that has come, as it has come for a thousand centuries, never failing. But when that dawn will come, of our emancipation, from the fear of bondage and the bondage of fear, why, that is a secret."
This is a really powerfully quote that i think can relate to many things. It says that the people of South Africa know that they will eventually be free and not have to live in fear but they just don't know when their relief will happen. For most people, having faith that "the dawn will come" is the only thing that keeps them hoping for a better life and a better future. So all people can do is wait and hope and survive until they can be relieved. Ndotsheni is in darkness because all the young people are leaving to find something more, which is giving the village not much hope. All the children are getting sick and they aren't wealthy enough or powerful enough to change that. All they can do is hope.
