UNkulumane is in extreme distress, almost to the point of madness, unable to speak about his problem. UMhlaba scolds him, stating that his current predicament is a result of his past actions and his failure to heed warnings. UNkulumane defends himself, claiming he was forced into the situation by his mother and her people, denying any desire to be king.

UMhlaba dismisses UNkulumane's excuses, telling him to take responsibility as a man and stop blaming others. He reminds UNkulumane that he should have refused the "danger" he got into and warns him about the destructive nature of an army led by Maqhekeni. UMhlaba realizes the severe consequences UNkulumane's actions will bring upon the entire community and sees UNkulumane's utter helplessness.

Finally, UMhlaba offers advice: UNkulumane must humble himself, go to his father, confess his mistakes, plead for forgiveness, and promise not to repeat them, appealing to his father's parental love.
