In Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, 20-year-old Tabitha Mwale is glued to her flickering screen, painstakingly bringing to life the characters in her long-held idea for a supernatural animation series.
She and her partner are trying to bring The Super, Zambia’s first anime series, to local audiences. It is a long, hard road but with talent, passion and determination, they are making progress in this emerging industry in Zambia.
Misheck Chiza Banda works as a documentary director and editor in Zambia. His directorial debut was with the short film On The Road, which challenges gender stereotypes. This is his first film for Africa Direct.

just saying we are in Africa.Originality is everything
Thank you for this🥰 indeed Zambia is rising and you guys just inspired me 💯
Zambia kuchalo
Absolutely love to see anime grow and evolve. Zambia ku chalo!!! ❤🎉
This is really impressive 👌
Every one who has achieved something great started small like this Anime. They need to keep the dream burning, seek funding from the CDF & well wishers. Add English subtitles & Anime can easily make an impact all over the nation & internationally especially among kids & the youths.
This is awesome hope they get support… Japanese JICA for cultural affairs should get in on this as they love supporting these things in Zambia (there a bit stiff) … Imagine she got some support and trying from a Japanese animation studio or university.
Which platforms’ is this streaming on?
Beautiful!!!! As a Zambian I am so proud!!! Zambia ku Chalo I can’t wait to watch local anime’s!!! Great initiative
Great content I just hope that they’ll be more Zambian faces in future and a bit more Zambian culture thrown in there
Zambia ku Chalo!!! 🇿🇲🇿🇲
Great stuff
Great stuff !
This is dope
Well done you have our support 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲kuchalo
