Speaking about her childhood in an interview with Melan Mag, Mutanda said: “I was born in Uganda to parents who had a very dramatic, volatile marriage. Outside of our home it was also a politically explosive time in Uganda too. Idi Amin, the notorious dictatorial president was in power. We literally lived opposite the presidential residence so there was always military protection around because my dad too was in politics. I guess you could say that I had a protected world view but I also knew that some very bad things were happening around me at the same time. Even as a young girl I had a heightened awareness about the world.

“My mum and I arrived in the UK in the late 70s, my dad had passed away recently before. He’d suffered a fatal stroke. At the time, my parents had already separated and I was living with my dad. When he suffered the stroke, my mum came to get me and we had to flee the country. She was allowed to leave the country, but I wasn’t. We arrived in the UK with the clothes on our backs and one suitcase! It’s only when I look back I realise what a traumatic time of my life it was.”

Quite an unusual combination really; I haven’t come across anyone else quite like me.”
