The Shikwekwes have lots of friends. There is the Patel family (Pradeep, Priya and their son Ravi) who are close family friends and long time neighbours. Ochieng, along with Ravi, is Zakayo's best friend. Then there is Shiro, Phyllis' friend. And finally old Mr Sang, the headmaster of Unbwogable Secondary School. Incidentally this happens to be both Zakayo's and Stanlaus' school.
