Four years ago, the South African entertainment industry suffered a great loss when Shona Ferguson, the co-founder of Ferguson Films, passed away suddenly due to COVID-19 complications.
His passing left a huge void in the hearts of his family, friends, and fans. For the past four years, his wife, Connie Ferguson, chose to remain silent in the media, focusing on work and family. However, recently, she decided to break her silence and share her journey of grief and resilience.
The Pain of Loss
In an exclusive interview, Connie Ferguson opened up about her experiences following her husband’s unexpected passing. “It felt like a nightmare. For the past four years, there hasn’t been a day when I didn’t think about him. He was an irreplaceable part of my life.” She revealed that in the initial days after Shona’s death, she fell into a deep state of grief and struggled to find a way to move forward without him by her side.
Family and Friends – A Strong Pillar of Support
Connie Ferguson candidly admitted that her family and friends have been her pillars of strength. “Family has been my greatest source of encouragement. My daughter and loved ones have always been by my side, reminding me that even though Shona is no longer physically present, his spirit and legacy continue to live on.”
Continuing Shona Ferguson’s Legacy
Shona Ferguson was not only a devoted husband but also a creative visionary and talented entrepreneur. Ferguson Films, the company he co-founded with his wife, remains one of South Africa’s leading production houses. After his passing, Connie was determined to continue the legacy they built together.
“Working in the entertainment industry is not easy, but Shona always dreamed of taking South African cinema to an international level. I will continue our work and bring the best productions to audiences.”

Love and Hope
Despite four years having passed, Connie Ferguson still holds Shona’s memory close to her heart. She believes that his spirit and love continue to be present in her daily life.
“He taught me so much about life, love, and cherishing every moment. Even though Shona is no longer physically here, I know he is watching over me and supporting me from afar.”
