IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS - AN ACCOUNT OF LIVES IMPACTED BY 'EVERYDAY ADVERSITIES.' PART 25.
Mfanyazaki quickly got into his car and make his way along the A34 going south, for about a mile, looking for their son along the way.
As he purposefully drove along the road, he saw his son in a heated and animated argument with several of his known acquaintences, some of whom were restraining him.
They were on the left hand side of the road, just a couple of metres before the pedestrian lights, and perpendicular to the road where one of his formerly very close friend, C, was living or used to live.
How close was the bond or former bond between Kazaliwa and C was, had been reflected in the fact that.
A couple of years earlier, when Kazaliwa’s relationship with his parents was already fraught. He told them of his intention to go and live with C, when he reached the age of 16 years old.
In an ironic and what would seem to be a very paradoxical situation, in later years.
Kazaliwa had actually made it known to his parents, that he preferred to be like his friend, C, in terms of the lad’s different ethnic origin.
It was a revelation which came as a great shock to Kazaliwa’ parents, Nzuri and Mfanyazaki.
Not least, considering the fact that Kazaliwa had oftentimes been relating how he been ‘bullied’ and called names, because of ethnic difference.
