[crowd cheering on screen]

-[beeps]
-Where did this Team 4 come from?

I need to get this under control.

I must bring in more forces to stop them.

[tense music playing]

[horns honking]

[Sepiso] Monde. What move did we end with
at last year's parade?

Oh, you mean the double leg roll.
Bona. Watch.

[grunting]

Just remember to center yourselves
before the competition and...

-Bina! Bina! Bina!
-[girls on phone] Eya! Eya! Eya!

[laughing]

We miss you, Monde!

Hey, I miss you too, girls.



[Zee] Monde!

Monde!

-[Sepiso] You have majorette practice?
-Uh, yeah. Practice. I have to go.

[girls on phone] Bye!

-Who was that?
-Just my old crew.

It's time to hang out with your new crew.
Team Temwe and the others.

[sighs]

Hey, Mama K!
We were heading down to the training room.

Well, stay right here.

For training today,
you'll be unloading the truck.

[bleats]

[groans] I can get that kind of training
at home on the farm.

Which means you will be extra good at it.
[chuckles]

[Team 4 groaning]

Girls, there is trouble brewing.

Another day, another attack.

So you must be watching wherever you go.

And no matter what,

you must stick together.

Yes, support each other.

You must always stay alert,
especially at public gatherings.

Like the "Remove the Rubbish" event.

Yes, exactly!

Remember how "alert"
the mayor's wife was last year?

[laughing]

I forgot about that.

What happened? What's so funny?

You know,
Mayor Sikazwe's speech was so long...

[laughs] ...that Mrs. Sikazwe fell asleep
behind him and...

[laughing]

Didn't you think that was funny, Monde?

Oh, wait. You weren't there, yaba.

[Mama K] But you are here now, Monde.

You are part of the team,

and tomorrow, you're performing
with your majorettes, yes?

Eh, I'm practicing plenty-plenty tonight.
Hau. I'm behind.

You'll be great.
Temwe and I will be there.

Ah! Really? That's so nice of you...

'Cause Chop-Chop's Burger Truck is coming
all the way from Chingola.

[sighs]

While you're hunting down burgers,

I'll be at Mr. Sibanda's Upcycle Booth,
volunteering.

Eh, if Temwe's stomach doesn't melt
from the spiciest burger, we'll help.

First burger, then booth. [laughing]

-Hm.
-[laughing continues]

[yelping]

Support is the four-legged chair.

However, all legs must stand
to hold the load.

Hm?

[bleats]

[door closes]

Wait, was that some sort of lesson?

[phone chatter indistinct]

[can pops open]

[grunts] Iwe!

-Pick up your trash.
-[screaming]

If I catch you,
I'll throw you in the rubbish.

Thank you, child.

At least you are not allergic
to bins like that one.

[chuckles] You're welcome, Mr. Sibanda.

-[horn honking]
-Huh? [yells]

[sighs] "You didn't think that was funny?"

"Oh, wait. You weren't there."

[sighing]

[computerized sounds]

[Monde laughing]

Okay, that is funny.

[door opens]

What's that, sis?

[laughing]

I remember that.

Are you making shombo ya muzauli?

As long as the power stays on
long enough to cook it.

A taste of home.

You know it was my favorite thing
to eat after majorette practice.

Remember eating outside by the mango tree?

Eh, watching the sunset.

Listening to Ndate tell stories.

Pick up your trash, or I'll...

And now we have Mr. Sibanda's yelling.

[both laughing]

Not quite the same.

[sighs]

Missing home that much, eh?

Mm. I miss Bo Ma, and Bo Ndate,

and old friends, and old jokes,

but here I'm just a girl
who didn't hear Mrs. Sikazwe's snore.

They wanted you to move here,
so you could go to a better school.

I know. I know.

I just don't like this feeling,

this being new,
not feeling like I'm part of a crew.

But you are making new friends,
new memories.

You just need to give it some time. Eh?
Soon Lusaka will feel like home.

Let me get started on dinner
before the load shedding hits. Huh?

[sighs]

Uh, is it okay if I keep practicing?

More practice?
Wena, you've been practicing all week.

With Team 4,
I mean, with Majorettes Team 4.

I need more practice.
I have a solo tomorrow.

Eh...

Stop worrying, Monde.

Bina, eh bina, just like Bo Ma taught you.
Hey?

-Eya! Eya! Eya, eya, eya!
-Eya! Eya!

And I'll be there cheering you on.

Mm-hm. Mr. Magedzee will be there too, ah?

[both giggling]

[powering down]
-[groans] Ma.

So much for shombo ya muzauli.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[people chattering]

[bell ringing]

[breathes deeply]

-Monde.
-[gasps]

-Are you okay?
-Yoh. Sissy, I'm so nervous.

Is it normal to get butterflies
in my toes?

Monde, you've got this. Remember?
Eya. Eya.

Eye. [chuckles] Oh.

Sissy, I think Mr. Magedzee
was appreciating your shimmy. Eh?

[both laughing]

[breathes deeply]

Thank you, Mr. Sibanda.

-[sighs]
-[Temwe laughing]

[screams]

-[laughing]
-[groans]

Monde! I'm not here
to be your alarm clock, eh?

As I was saying,

we all need to focus
and make me look good.

It's your big moment, new girl.

Don't screw it up.

[sighs]

So first I give my speech and then...

No speech.
You are here to thank Mr. Magedzee

for supplying
the power generators for the event.

And who's going to thank me?

Don't look at me.
I'm monitoring my students.

I can. And what is it you want me
to thank you for today, Mr. Sikazwe?

I, uh... well... never mind.

I should be thanking you, Ms. Wamunyima.

We know who's really the brains
behind this operation.

Please, call me Likando.

And I'm just doing my job.

And you do it very well, Likando.

Mayor! Mayor!

Ah, Mr. Sibanda.

How many times must I tell you

we are not interested
in your sanitation plan?

There's trash on every street corner.
Hear me out, please.

Mr. Sibanda, stop disturbing me.
I must focus on my big speech.

No, Mayor. No speech.

-[grunting]
-It's commendable to see citizens like you

so passionate about our environment.

Our corrupt mayor spews rubbish.
Now rubbish plagues Lusaka.

His eyes must be opened
to the plight that he has created.

-[static buzzes]
-Where is my welcome music?

-[static buzzing]
-[crowd cheering]

Thank you all for joining us
to help clean Lusaka.

Also, special thanks to Mr. Magedzee

for providing extra power to this event.

[crowd cheering]

Ah.

Now, where are my glasses?

Shh.

Ah, here we are.

-Three hundred grams of shombo...
-[crowd laughing]

...a chicken, and three tomatoes.

Thank you, Mayor Sikazwe, for coming today

and letting us know
you are out of tomatoes.

[crowd laughing]

Thank you, Mr. Nkwashi,

for hosting this year's
"Remove the Rubbish" event

at Kamiji Secondary School.

My people. My wonderful people.

With all my heart I want to thank you,

all of you, great people,

who will stand at every corner,
on every street,

on their very rooftops,
and cry out with one voice,

"Lusaka will take no rubbish!"

[crowd] "Lusaka will take no rubbish!"

What about the rubbish
that is Mayor Sikazwe?

Now, now, not all rubbish
is entirely useless.

-Thank you.
-Some rubbish can be recycled.

Not our mayor. Throw him out!

-Throw him out!
-[crowd chanting] Throw him out!

Throw him out!

Okay, okay. [clears throat]

To kick off the evening's events,
let's give a loud and proud cheer

for Kamiji Secondary's majorette team,
the Rocking Gemstones.

-[crowd cheering]
-[upbeat music playing]

[crowd cheering]

[laughing]

Oh!

[squeals]

[cameras clicking]

-[gasps]
-[laughing]

[scattered instruments playing]

-[slurping]
-[crowd] Huh?

[girls laughing]

[panting]

[gasps]

Ayi.

So much rubbish.

People care too little
for the Earth that feeds them.

Litterbugs plague Lusaka,
and no one does anything about it.

Not the citizens, not the mayor.

The mayor? He never listens.

Then someone has to make him listen.

How much do you really care about Lusaka?

What are you willing to do
to save your city?

Anything.

Who are you?

A friend.

Sisi, what happened yesterday is old news.

Hau, Likando. These were all posted today.

[groans]
This wouldn't have happened back home.

It's not as bad as you think.

Just try to have a good day, okay?

-There's Monde. Do the Monde Challenge.

Monde, are you okay?
You didn't return my call last night.

-Or my texts.
-Or my meme.

That was you? [groans]

This is so embarrassing.

Ah, don't stress yourself, Monde.

It didn't get
a million hits on ZambiaStream.

But it will! It's a huge deal.

Your memes are
the new Snoring Mrs. Sikazwe.

Monde Wamunyima.

Follow me, please.

That prank you pulled last night.
Very unexpected.

Sir. I promise I had nothing...

The press, the community, the whole school
is distracted by this silly

"Monde Challenge" you created.

I'm sorry, Mr. Nkwashi.

I'm sure you are.

I expected more from you
after the report cards

I got from your old school.

My old school.

[grunts]

One more thing.

Here is some advice, Ms. Wamunyima.

Stay away from those friends of yours.

Especially that little one. No good.

Monde!

-Are you here?
-[Chomps bleating]

Oh. Chomps.

Have you seen Monde?

[bleating]

-Huh?
-[door opens, closes]

[gasps]

Eh, I was just reading.
What's all this yelling about?

Monde stormed out of school
saying she was going home.

But when we went to check,
she wasn't there.

Oh, I think we messed up zoona.
We didn't have her back.

[sighs] What did I say about the legs?

Supporting each other.

Go and find your friend. Make this right.

Yes, Mama K.

We need a ka dictionary
for Mama K's proverbs. Mweh.

[man] Mwanangu, are you embarking
on a new journey?

Uh... Ki Na?

[sighs] I was. But now I'm going back
to where I came from.

[man] Why is that?

I came here for a better future,

but it's turned out to be
one big pile of rubbish.

Don't be so quick to give it all up.

There is value in everything.

Even the things we throw away.

[chuckles]

You sound like a woman I know.

Thank you, chicken.
Litumezi. You are very wise.

-[thunk]
-Hm?

Strange.

[tires screeching]

[Monde screaming]

[man cackling]

[grunts] I have to go.
Stay safe Bo Chicken.

[grunts] I've got to call the...

No, I'm not calling the girls.
I can do this on my own.

[upbeat music playing]

[alarm blaring]

-[watch beeps]
-Girls.

-There's an attack at the edge of Lusaka.
-And Monde is there.

[gasps] She meant home home.
She's leaving Lusaka.

Elo, she's fighting alone.
We need to help her.

The chair is broken, oh.

Three legs does not make a Team 4.

[upbeat music playing]

When your fingers are together,
they become a powerful fist.

Be a fist.

Are we a fist or a chair?

-[rumbling]
-What?

Mayor Sikazwe,

it is time to take out the trash.

Stop!

[chuckles]

You turned a blind eye
to Lusaka's rubbish.

Now nobody can look away.

[cackling]

Get inside, Mayor. I've got this.

You're trashing the city.

[cackling]

You ready for some rubbish?

[gasps]

[grunts]

Hi-ya!

[gasps]

If you can't handle the trash,
get out of the dump.

No, Waste Man!

We are going to trash the trash
that is you.

[chuckles]

[cackles]

[both gasp]

[grunts] I messed up, M-Kozo.

I shouldn't have done the dumb challenge!

We should've realized you were homesick.

And stood up for you.
We're big-time sorry.

We are here for you no matter what.
Starting right here, right now.

We're your crew. We're Team 4.

Come and be some furniture with us.

[all laughing]

That is the support I am talking about.

[chuckles] Thanks, girls. Litumezi.

Now, let's kick this garbage to the curb.

[upbeat music playing]

[grunts]

[grunts]

K-Bongo!

Already working on ways to stop him.

[grunts]

[chuckles]

[yelling]

K-Bongo, you got something yet?

[Komana] He's using a force to move metal.

Magnets.

He's using magnets
to push and pull the garbage.

[groans]

We need to use anything that's not metal
to get through his magnetic field.

[exclaims]

Rubbish!

Yebo, yes! Plastic or rubber
so we can block his energy source.

But where are we going
to find enough stuff?

[exclaims]

[squawks]

There's value in everything.
Even the things we throw away.

Yeah! Let's go trash collecting, Za-Mpezi.

I'll give Garbage Man
the performance of his life.

[upbeat music playing]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[Garbage Man groaning]

[Monde gasps] Mr. Sibanda?

The Garbage Man is the garbage man?

Eh, how did I not see that one coming?

Wh-what's happening?
Where am I?

You were trashing the city.

Don't you remember?

Me? Trash the city?

No!

The last thing I remember
was cleaning up after the upcycling event.

Someone clearly messed with his head.

Everything's gonna be okay, Mr. Sibanda.

Yeah, but I'm not gonna lie,

you're gonna have to help us
recycle this mess, Uncle.

[people chattering]

Welcome to the closing ceremony
of the "Remove the Rubbish" event!

This week has been incredibly successful
thanks to our passionate citizens.

Only we can save the planet!

Iwe.

[chuckles] Yes, yes.
Passionate citizens like Mr. Sibanda.

Now, let's get on with the festivities.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[crowd cheering]

Huh?

[crowd exclaims]

Oh, no. Not again!

Huh?

Yes, Monde!

That's my sister.

-[crowd cheering]
-Ah.

[girls] Go, Monde!

[chuckles]

That's my crew.
