Even within people of the same culture, there are divisions between the different social classes. The priests, the poor (like the people who live in Shanty Town) and the working class people all are parts of seperate social classes, even though they are all of the same race and speak the same language.
The divisions in the text are both cultural and racial, there are both whites and blacks as well as different dialects of african, regions of johannesberg are also divided
There are different languages, races, cultures, and values. In Johannesberg the towns people have changed the way they live, they also talk in different languages. For example when Rev. Kumalo meets his brother they talk in english and zulu.

Divisions that exist in the text are the different races, cultures and the different languages that the characters can speak. Also the different levels of respect that the people get based on what they do with their lives.
There are different cultures and races. There is a big difference between Kumalo's village and Johannesburg, the mixture of cultures and changes in society.
In a simplisitc view of the book the division are quite clear: white and black, rich and poor, saints and sinners. However each one of these is divided further by unique and individual experiences.
In this book you can see the difference in language and culture barriers. For instance when Kumalo leaves Ndotsheni you we can see that he doesn't understand everything that happens.
There are many exapmles of division in this text. There are language barries, segregation of the races, and seperation of the clergy and the lay people. ~Emily Keen
The divisions in the text prevent people from getting where they need to. Because all the cities are seperated and the Africans are boycotting the buses it is really hard for Msimangu and Kamolu to get to the seperate cities and learn about his son. ~Emily Keen

There are a few divisons in the text. The first obvious one is race there are whites and blacks. The next divison is the different languages even though they are all in africa they speak different forms of it and english. Laslty there is an age division there are old and young people throughout the text.
Later in the book, when gold is discovered in Odendaalsrust, the division between the cities of South Africa and the tribal lands are very evident because the book describes how Odendaalrust is in the present, in contrast with the city it could become. Another division the discovery of gold highlights is the division between languages. The narrator argues that the only problem with Odendaalsrust, where gold was found, is that the name is too difficult to pronounce, and should be changed. This shows that South Africa is divided by languages, which are in constant competition with one another.
Kelly makes some good points in regards to the division in the text. I agree with both statements she mentioned; This includes the examples of the comparison of the present Odendaalsrust to what it could have been, and the language barrier shown through the narrators in ability to pronounce Odendaalsrust.

The divisions are not just physical but also social and are not seen unless looked at deeply.
