IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS - AN ACCOUNT OF LIVES IMPACTED BY 'EVERYDAY ADVERSITIES.' PART 14.

And so it was that Kazaliwa would have been well served with the motto ‘It was not my fault, but their’s.’ Hoc est non culpa, sed eorum 's! Which, according to Google, would, in Latin, have meant 

Yes, it was always other people picking on Kaziliwa and provoking or providing him with the excuse of provocation which he just had to respond to.

With his reactions tending to be on the excessive side. Indicating a personality which is probably exicitable, passionate, spontaneous and over-optimistic, but also probably quite rigid or inflexible.

Because he failed to invest in learning, and did not cared sufficiently about the learning aspirations of his fellow pupils, enough, to not use his behaviour to disrupt their learning.

His rejection of the education system and lack of academic aspiration was painful to his parents, because Kazaliwa had the intellectual ability learn and achieve.

When he was in Junior and Primary School, Kazaliwa received commendation for a poem he wrong. A feat he would repeat when he moved to Sir Graham Balfour Secondary School. 

Mfanyazaki would, for years after, remember how stunned he became when he praised Kazaliwa for his achievement with his poem at his school. 

And how he thought he had, without rancour, told him that he expected him to do even better the following year, only to have his son repelling him with venom-like rebuttal.
