Toya Delazy, a musician from South Africa, has signed on as the fourth Powerpuff Girl, due to debut on Cartoon Network later this month.<\/p>\n

Delazy had already teamed with Turner to produce and sing an all-African localized theme song for the reboot of The Powerpuff Girls<\/em>. She is now lending her voice in five special episodes, during which\u00a0the four superheroes must work together to save Townsville from bigger-than-ever forces of evil.\u00a0The new character will be unveiled in The Powerpuff Girls: Power of Four<\/em>, which is set to premiere on Sunday, September 17, at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Delazy remarked: \u201cI have always dreamed of being the voice of a cartoon character. Never did I think I would be recording a voice-over as the new Powerpuff Girl for Cartoon Network, though! In a nutshell, Cartoon Network was my childhood. The shows were always quirky, expressive, creative and cool! I have always appreciated how creative the channel is, even to this day. Watching Cartoon Network really opened my mind as a child, and for me the channel still represents creativity in all aspects of the word. The shows are bold, unexpected, energetic and exciting\u2014definitely a brand that I can identify with and relate to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaime Ondarza, the senior VP for Southern Europe and Africa at Turner, added: \u201cWe at Cartoon Network are so excited by the growth we have seen with Toya Delazy. Toya is definitely a perfect fit as the fourth Powerpuff Girl. She is confident, bubbly and quirky\u2014all the values that we are familiar with, love and appreciate. We have a lot of surprises up our sleeves, so be sure to watch this space. All details are set to be revealed later in September.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
