How dare a London store, no matter how big and famous, claim exclusive use of the first name of Charity Mupanga’s late father, Harrods Tangwenya, gardener to successive British high commissioners for nearly twenty years?
Charity Mupanga is the widowed owner of Harrods International Bar (and Nightspot) – a favourite meeting place for the movers and shakers of Kibera.

In the nick of time an accidental riot, triggered by the visit to the slum of World Bank President Hardwick Hardwicke, coupled with some quick thinking by Titus Ntoto, the 14-year-old leader of Kibera’s toughest gang, the Mboya Boys United Football Club, help Charity – and Harrods – to triumph in the end.
