In a media statement issued recently Netflix says Ngwira will join the summer slate with Netflix’s first release on July 20 of an original animated series from Africa called Supa Team 4.
It is a story about four teen girls who happen to be undercover superheroes living in the neo-futuristic African city of Lusaka.

Families will also want to tune in and chill out with an exciting slate of animated movies and series previously announced, including Nimona, an epic tale full of fantasy and heart; and The Monkey King, an epic Chinese tale translated into an action-packed comedy.
