Relatives play a pivotal role in the life of those they are related to.In Betrayal in the city, the playwright presents the Family of Nina and Doga as the focal point of the play. In their relationship many of roles emerge.

Relatives keep each other company.Nina and Doga console each other in the dark hour when they moan Adika's death. Doga tells Nina they need to sing as they prepare for the shaving ceremony. "when we walk with the Lord......."

Relatives make sacrifices for each other. Jusper, Adika's brother is determined to sacrifice his education and his life to avenge for his brother.He even kills Chagaga who had murdered Adika and he suffers imprisonment and the murder of parents.

Relatives stand up even when there are dire consequences. Jusper stands up for his brother Adika even when there are disastrous consequences.

Relatives fight for justice. Jusper fights for justice for Adika and for the parents' murder.He goes to the extent of killing Mulili and say "...i did it for Kafira,I did it for all of you." Some relatives intimidate others and finally betray them. Mulili intimidates the Boss by accusing him when he realizes his life is in danger.He becomes disloyal to the man who has given him promotion and even Boss feels betrayed and say"........kill me spare me this betrayal."

Regina is Jusper's girlfriend.She occasionally intimidates Jusper but he does not give up his fight for justice for his family.
