Kazaliwa's relationship with his parents, on the other hand, has ebbed and floed.
There were, and is probably will still be times when they would have flare ups of varying intensity, over something he and/or his parents did or did not do.
There were times when his dad wanted him out of the house, and there were times when he, Kazaliwa, wanted to leave his parents home.
As regarding money, Kazaliwa stringently refused to sign on for any welfare benefits. Despite the fact that he was clearly eligible for such benefits.
In a strange way, or so it might seem to 'mainstream folks', Kazaliwa, like others of his then mindset, would not bring himself to 'claiming benefit.'
Such an act would be a betrayal of his sense of probity.
Of him having to abase himself by seeking a helping hand from the state, in his time of need.
The time would, indeed, arise when Kazaliwa would apply for some state benefit.
To be continued!
