"[3] It starts in the 1930s, and covers the Berlin Olympics, World War II, an assassination attempt on Jan Smuts and the 1948 South African election which saw the official introduction of apartheid.

[4] In the time of the Great Depression, Lothar De La Rey and his son Manfred own and operate a fleet of fishing trawlers and a cannery.

Days after, Centaine and Shasa return to South-West Africa to visit the H'ani Mine in the outer reaches of the Kalahari.

Meanwhile, Lothar strikes a deal with Gerald Fourie, the driver who transports the monthly shipments of Centaine's diamonds, to hand over his cargo to him on the next delivery.

He is ultimately captured and tried for his crimes, his infected arm is amputated, and he is sentenced to life imprisonment after a remorseful Centaine testifies on his motives and the mercy he showed her throughout the robbery and pursuit.

Hendrick abandons the plan to flee north, believing that a black man would be worse off in the Portuguese colonies than Lothar and Manfred, and he and Manfred go their separate ways: Hendrick returns to his homeland and aids Moses in establishing a power base amongst the black people of the country, in the hope of launching a revolution against the white government.

With Garrick's death, the Ossewabrandwag's coup fails to materialise, and the government arrests the members of the organization en masse, forcing Manfred to go on the run.

Following the election, Manfred, now Deputy Minister of Justice, arranges a pardon for his father and takes possession of the files on White Sword, which he destroys.

Having discovered Sarah's role in sabotaging the attempted coup, he resolves to make her pay in time, and remarks that the Afrikaners are no longer the underdogs of South Africa.
