England, 1958: Young Higgs is a hard-working motorcycle mechanic in Milton-Keynes. The entire country is generally cold and damp. There’s got to be more out there for a man with his ambition. The future looks grey. Until he picks up the paper over a pint one night in The Carrington Arms.

The Northern Rhodesia Police Force (NRP) needs men now.

A phone call, some paperwork, and a few handshakes later, Higgs is aboard the R.M.M.V. Carnarvon Castle bound for Cape Town. The next three years see this handsome young ladies’ man get to grips with British law enforcement on the African continent; a rather different affair to the bobby-on-the-beat procedures of home.

Cue hilarity, horror, and harrowing tragedy as Higgs builds a life of remarkable proportions as an officer of the Northern Rhodesia Police Force. Based on the true lives and stories of original NRP officers, Kwacha is both a fun-filled tale and an important historical document that captures and preserves a world order fast fading from living memory.
