Cape Town – Connie Ferguson’s eldest daughter, Lesedi Matsunyane-Ferguson, has written a heartfelt tribute to the late actor and media mogul, Shona Ferguson, in which she reminisced about all the things she will miss about him.

“I cannot tell you how I’m feeling but I’ve never known a pain like this. Sunrise: 30 April 1974. (7+4 = 11) Sunset: 30 July 2021 – 47 years old. (4+7 = 11). A true angel watches over us. We knew cos you were always bathed in light. The last video I took of you is frame 4. You were always fascinated by my English ? I never thought “double entendre” would be the last laugh we’d have.

“Thank you Fah, for loving us as loudly as you did. Thank you for never giving up on me even when I gave you many reasons to,” the former “Rhythm City” actress wrote on her Instagram account.

According to IOL, Lesedi always took Shona as a father figure after he married her mother, some 20 years ago.

“I wish I could DM you funny videos again. I wish I could tell you about my dating woes until we found the right one. No man can measure up to you. You set a very impossible standard,” Lesedi wrote.

The 47-year-old Ferguson Films production boss died at Milpark hospital in Johannesburg due to Covid-19 related complications.

According to EWN, he had been fighting for his life in ICU for more than two weeks.
