Biggggg softy (literally)

Long history of law under his belt
Created the T.R.S. to help people, wanted everyone to be treated equally.
Started C.L.A.D.E. as a way to allow people to recieve help when the system couldn't. Especially after the Grassland Wars . . .
Lwazi was more than happy to help wherever he could, even if that meant putting a roof over someone's head even for a night.
He was born and raised in Nigeria, but the man had a deep love for Britain, and their biscuits . . .
He had such a kind heart and if it wasn't for him a lot of people would not be where they are today . . . especially the Octonauts.
C.L.A.D.E. was originally a secret operation agency, and was only revealed to the public in [ 2006 ]
(Their main goal was to give aid and serve justice to those who were unlawfully convicted of crime)
His money only ever went to C.L.A.D.E. / The development of the T.R.S. / Animal Rights Matters — He was very frugal whenever it came to his own welfare/homelife.
Lwazi broke his trunk during a fight with Da Vinci Delvano.
Lwazi & Ese divorced on good terms (They eventually fell out of love but still cared for each other as good friends.)
Took Peggy in when she was younger, effectively rescuing her from her abusive situation. She would later grow to be like a daughter to him and she would join C.L.A.D.E. when she graduated High School.
After Lwazi adopted Peggy, three of his five children cut off contact. Only when he revealed C.L.A.D.E. to the public did they try to settle their disputes.
Lwazi was killed on June 10th by someone associated with the Black Ice Clan, only a month after C.L.A.D.E. had been revealed.
Peggy would later take on his role as Director, further straining her relationship with those same three siblings. (Through Ese she was able to keep keep up to date on family matters but she only ever speaks to Idris — Who currently works as an Agent of C.L.A.D.E. — and Safiya — the youngest of the Ntuli children, and is the very same age as Peggy.)
