The land in Cry, The Beloved Country represents the Kumalo family. The Kumalo family used to be united as one and once everyone started to grow and become older the family started to split up and divide just like the land does. "You have said it, he said. It is said now. This money which was saved for that purpose will never be used for it". Kumalo is talking about his son Absalom and the money they were saving for him to send him to St. Chad's when he was younger. Now that Absalom grew up and left to Johannesburg they know that he won't come back. Just like the land, it started out united, but as time began to go on the land became divided just like the Kumalo family.
