Hollywood heavyweights Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, and Morgan Freeman all reprise their iconic roles, giving audiences the familiar mix of mystery, humour, and mind-blowing tricks that made the first two films such big hits.
In the middle of all this excitement is Thabang Molaba, who plays the character Lethabo Khoza.
