They appear to be destined to be together – on television. When Harriet Khoza and Hector Sebata marry, Connie Ferguson and Rapulana Seiphemo will say “I Do” on The Queen.
For long-time fans of the stars, who saw them marry as Karabo Moroka and Tau Mogale on Generations more than a decade ago, it may seem a little like déjà vu.
This TV duo is anything but regular. Harriet and Hector’s love is that of 16-year-olds who don’t give a damn what the rest of the world thinks of them and live in their own little universe.
Harriet is a powerful woman who leads an empire with the support of her brother, Brutus, and other members of her family. Hector was first introduced to fans as a tough man who appeared to be exceedingly strong and lethal.They’re finally coming together as one.
Drum speaks with director Andries Van Der Merwe, who says the first wedding taught them a lot. Connie has a special connection to this location because it is where she and her late husband, Shona, reaffirmed their vows.
Connie Ferguson kisses a man for the first time on The Queen in this love story. It was always something she refused to do.
Andries claims it was a big deal that they had to talk about before it happened. This was a technique for the director to convey Harriet Khoza’s subservient side while keeping it convincing.
Andries described the couple’s kiss as gentle, romantic, and lovely, and she kissed him again at the wedding as a kind of reinforcement that she is completely committed to this man because he is the first man she kissed in the show.
“We had the idea to do it all over again.” We created a scenario in which their love story was almost complete but never materialized. Then we arrived at the conclusion that it should happen because Karabo and Tau’s wedding was such a big event and is still the most talked-about wedding. So we have to figure out how to give it a 2022 spin while keeping the same vibe as 20 years ago.”
He claims they went for huge and magnificent because they are wealthy, but it is also minimalistic in nature due to the characters’ history. They are aware that they should not be married, yet they are in love. They’ll keep the bubble going.
We followed a similar approach with the wedding, which is why we didn’t have chairs in the actual ceremony; we took the chairs out and formed a half-moon circle.” “We kind of cocoon them back in,” he explains, “so it’s just the two of them in their special place, and they don’t care about the rest of the world.”
Dreezy, as he is affectionately known among his coworkers, claims that in the run-up to the wedding, the couple spoke to their family members in various settings to convey that they would marry whether or not they approved. Harriet has transformed a hardcore man into a softie.
