The African superhero is back! In this edition, Kwezi hones his superhuman abilities and accepts that his powers are to be used to save his homeland from evil forces. 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. In a recent conversation with Design Indaba, Mkize shared his motivation behind the unique series. “We have never had a superhero that looks like us and speaks like us and shares the same experiences and environment as us.”

Loyiso Mkize is a 30-year-old visual artist based in Cape Town. Born in Butterworth, Eastern Cape, Loyiso developed a love for art from the age of 5 and has followed his passion to this day - becoming a fine artist, comic book illustrator and founder of a visual arts company Loyiso Mkize Art (Pty) Ltd. Loyiso's skillset has predominantly been in painting and illustration, out of which he developed a career. The works all speak proudly, of an African identity. The overarching force behind his work is telling the African story above all, and articulating its varied textures, colours, ideas - thus forming a lifelong narrative and aesthetic driven artistic journey.
