The black injustice warrior, who sports a bandana in the colours of the South African flag, is the brainchild of Bill Masuku, a comic book artist who divides his time between his native Zimbabwe and South Africa."She doesn't punch criminals. She's fighting a lot of systems. Like, how do you fight poverty? Because you can't punch poverty."
"I was inspired by the people I went to university with, these protest movements that asked for political change that didn't incite violence," he said. Three years later, Captain South Africa was born - with an untamed shock of black hair and initially garbed, like Captain America, in red and blue.
