Twitter wants to know: Was that Imbewu sangoma Morgan Freeman?

But he really looks like Freeman yazi? *zooms in for proper view*

Obvs, Imbewu is not here to play with us hey. The new drama began on Monday and, uhm, they have 'Morgan Freeman' speaking fluent Zulu. Well, kinda!

Looking at the highlights of the new drama, tweeps could have sworn they saw the American actor in one of the scenes.

Needless to say, we all collectively lost our minds!

The next couple of minutes were spent zooming in and out. Is that man really Morgan? 

As it turns out, it wasn't the American Morgan Freeman. Instead, it's a local actor who just happens to really (like really) look like the Bruce Almighty star.

Bab' Zwane is the name.

Now that we've found our very own Morgan, we were like this person is just rethinking every South African role given to Morgan... 

Yup, this guy could have played all those Madiba roles and saved us those bad African-wanna-be accents.
