A retired secret agent recruits four teen girls living in the neo-futuristic African city of Lusaka. Their assignment? Save the world…even if it’s on a budget. In their journey from schoolgirls tackling homework to undercover superheroes fending off supervillains, they’re transformed from a motley crew of friends into Supa Team 4!
Created by Zambian writer Malenga Mulendema, with South African animation studio Triggerfish and leading London-based kids’ entertainment specialist CAKE as producers, with animation from Superprod Animation in France, the eight-part series celebrates the continent’s dynamic storytelling and showcases the strength, intelligence and bravery within all young people.
Incredible African talents, including John Kani, Pamela Nomvete, Zowa Ngwira, Namisa Mdlalose, Nancy Sekhokoane and Sparky Xulu voice the action-filled animation. International voice actors John MacMillan and Kimani Arthur complete the impressive talent lineup.
Zambian rapper, singer and songwriter Sampa the Great graces the series with her musical brilliance, singing the show’s theme song.
