Characters do what they do because the author thinks they should. Good authors have their characters do logical things that real people would do in similar circumstances.
It depends on which people.
The vast majority of people in any country are good people. Your nationality does not affect how good or bad a person you are. There are bad people in China and there are good people in China, so they are exactly the same as any other country in the world. Chinese people are very kind people
What is your question?
Stephen Kumalo is straightforward in his depiction of the characters, their thoughts, and feelings. Many of his characters are based on real people.

There is no such thing as a "good country" or a "bad country." Countries are concepts, amoral, neither capable of good nor bad. The people of a country, especially those who run its government however can be termed good or bad. More accurately, their behavior, their actions in dealing with people and other nations' governments can be labeled good or bad.
Whether the US is a good country is a matter of personal opinion. You will find many people who would say that it is a very nice country. But you will also find many people who would say that it is not a nice country at all.
Good and Evil people. Eg, a fairy and a witch.
If the characters seem like real people to the readers, then the author has done a good job.
