Queen Actress Zenande Mfenyana details how she met and became close with the Fergusons

The Queen star Zenande was shattered by the news, and in a series of tweets shared how she became close with Shona and his wife Connie.

As the family prepares to lay TV legend Shona Ferguson to rest, grief-stricken actress Zenande has reflected fondly on her memories of the star. Shona passed away last week Friday due to Covid-19 complications. His famous co-workers and friends have taken to social media reeling over his death.

Zenande said she met the power couple at an end-of-year function in 2013. She said that even though they didn’t know each other, one day they would rub shoulders

The first time I met the power couple that is Mam’Connie & Mr Sho was in 2013 at an end of year function, I sat on the same table as them, and I thought to myself, they don’t know me yet, but one day I will work with them ⏩⏩

When auditions for Ferguson Films production IGazi came about, the star said that “Mr Sho” immediately scooped her up for a role because he already knew her body of work.

“As I’m filling in my audition form, Mr Sho appears and says, ‘We know who you are, no need to fill that in’. This was me as he led me into the audition room, a whole Mr Sho and Ma’Connie know me,” she wrote.

The proud momma said that Shona and Connie were so elated about her pregnancy, they wrote her pregnancy into her character’s arc and gave her five months’ maternity leave.

“I will forever love and cherish everything this amazing power couple have done for me, I can’t imagine the one without the other, that’s why my heart shatters every time I think of Mam’Connie,” said Zenande.
