Kwezi Collector’s Edition 4 Issues 10-12 sees our team of heroes faces challenges they never could have predicted while Mpisi sets about establishing an anti-Super campaign…

Kwezi is a 19-year-old boy that discovers he has superpowers. Set against a contemporary South African backdrop, the series merges urban and indigenous cultural themes in an exciting and educational story.

Gold City is under siege! Power dynamics have shifted!

The day of reckoning has finally come and neither Kwezi nor his companions could have expected to conront a threat as devastating as this.

Our superhero's journey continues as we see him reunited with his family back home in Langelihle, Eastern Cape.

Soon after Kwezi arrives, following a confrontation with his parents and a fall out with Azania, he is made aware of a scared , mystical mission which he must undertake in order to ascend to his truer, higher self. Meanwhile in the Namib desert, en route to seek counsel about the unravelling prophecy, Mohau and Khoi encounter "The Three Pillars", inter dimensional guardians who will stop at nothing to protect the seer. Back in the Gold City, something sinister is quietly brewing through the vicious hands of Mr Mpisi.

Will Kwezi find what he is looking for in his misson and will Mohau and Khoi find their way to the great seer?.

Gold city is in for a big surprise! Mr Mpisi and his cohorts have met secretly to devise a plot to undo the rise of Kwezi and the superhero phenomena. They unleash Mamadou, a raging giant from the hidden land of the hyena to wreak havoc in the city centre. With Mohau and Khoi still in inter-dimensional travel, and Kwezi yet to gain new insights and powers back home, all is left to an introspective Azania to protect the city. Will the cunning Mr Mpisi’s elaborate plan succeed in furthering his dark cause? Will Azania’s heroism win out? Will Kwezi and the others return in time to aid Azania and defend the city from the ever-tightening grip of the megalomaniac, Mr Mpisi?

The African superhero universe is set to widen in South Africa. Kwezi, which means "star" in Xhosa and Zulu, is the brainchild of Loyiso Mkize a designer and fine artist who got his start in comics as an illustrator for the long-running Supa Strikas soccer series. Mkize describes Kwezi as "a coming of age story about finding one's heritage." The comic follows a narcissistic teenage boy named Kwezi as he discovers his superhuman abilities amid the daily hustle of the fictional Gold City- a bustling metropolis modelled after Johannesburg. Portrayed as a cocky anti-hero obsessed with selfies and Twitter, Kwezi is initially fueled by the attention from his adoring online fans, but he soon finds out that his powers come with a cultural responsibility. To accurately reflect Kwezi's world and that of potential readers, the comic's dialogue is peppered with street slang and pop culture references that place the story in a familiar context for young South Africans. The first three issues were self-published and took three years to develop after local publishers balked at the idea that a South African superhero could be a successful endeavour.
