The media mogul Shona Ferguson is being laid to rest on Wednesday after he passed away on Friday at Netcare Milpark Hospital due to covid19 complications. Covid-19 has really left us with so many pain as people continue to loose their loved ones due to the virus.

It is really hard to imagine how Connie Ferguson will be able to go on without her soul mate. The man loved and adored his family. The television and film industry has lost dearly. Uncle Sho has helped so many people to find their feet in the industry. It is even difficult to watch some of the drama series especially where he played the role of Jerry Maake. He used to play like a robot and he did that very well.

The two were really a power couple of Mzansi. I really feel for Connie and the children, but time heals all wound. They will find their feet again.

This is what Connie said after the passing of Shona.

“I’m struggling to process everything that’s going on! It all just feel like a horrible nightmare that I can’t wakeup from! I feel like I am living in a twilight zone! I keep asking God why? Why Lord? Please help me understand! I trust you! I trust you to see me and my family through this! Please give me and my family the strength to carry on and continue our hero’s legacy! Only you can”

From what we have seen during the funeral, Connie is strong and selfness woman as she went on to comfort her sister after she left the podium. She could not just sit there and let her cry out.

Mzansi’ favorite couple met way back in 2001 and they got married the same year. June 2002, they welcomed their only daughter and child, Alicia Angel.

The family opted for a private send off but they provided links to allow fans to be part of the last event Shona would ever have.

His widow,Connie Ferguson’s message was so moving and left many in tears. “One thing I do know for sure my love is that you are walking with the lord, and you have been preparing for this day all your life. Because everything you did you did with such passion,” Connie said in a recorded message. The exhaustion in her voice was so heartbreaking. I personally don’t think I would have been strong in this case.

“I have to find it in me to continue until I’m ready to join you. This is not goodbye my love because love like you and I have does not die. You continue on in my heart and our children’s heart. Thank you Sho for everything. I love you my baby.”

Listening to Connie Ferguson speech, you couldn’t help but break into tears. Connie reminds me of Job . Job understood that the Lord gives and takes. He understood that sometimes God takes everything from us to give us everything and he did not curse the Lord once for his pain – that’s what I see in her, so much faith in pain.

Every speaker came in and said Shona was a family man… Honestly that’s one of the things that made many love him. You’d literally see him with Connie in every picture. Many agree that they wanna be like him. Family comes first.

Among other dignitaries were minister Nathi Mthethwa.

We might have never met him but we had a piece of him in our leaving rooms every night , we fell in love with him through watching how he loved his family. He touched each of us in so many different way. Forever in our hearts Uncle Sho.

Working with legends means you get to watch them and learn so many things from them. If you are lucky they even take you under their wing and tell you what to do in order to be successful in life. The pass on wisdom that you will not get in class that can shape your entire career.
