Toya Delazy will be lending her voice to bring to life a new Powerpuff Girl in the upcoming five-episode special The Powerpuff Girls: Power of Four which premiers on September 23-24 on Cartoon Network.
However, Delazy will only voice the Africa feed, meaning her voice will only be heard on the African continent. The international kids channel says,"Cartoon Network has joined forces with 15 super-powered celebrities across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Australia who will each lend their voice to the newly revealed fourth Powerpuff Girl."
"The first local celebrities to be named as the voice of this mysterious fourth Powerpuff Girl are South Africa's hip-hop sensation Toya Delazy, who will star as the character across Africa, and Australian YouTuber Wengie, who has voiced the character for Australia and New Zealand."

"I have always dreamed of being the voice of a cartoon character. Never did I think I would be recording a voice for Cartoon Network’s The Powerpuff Girls, though," said Delazy.
The South African artist also took to twitter to express her latest adventure, "And just like that, became a power puff girl. Much love to my @cartoonnetwork for trusting me with this epic job."
