Connie Responds To Criticism Of Having Ex-Husband Play On Kings Of Joburg
Eye brows were raised when it was announced that Connie Ferguson’s ex-husband Neo Matsunyane would be cast as one of the members of the highly anticipated season 2 of Kings Of Joburg.
Connie was a guest on 702 with Bongani Bingwa who raised this as a point of ‘controversy’ for a lot of viewers, and asked the actress what she thought of it.

 

“A point of controversy, I mean, not for you, but for certain viewers that might raise an eyebrow or two … you’ve cast Neo Matsunyane in the second season,” he asked.
Connie responded by saying she is not part of the people who make decisions on who gets cast or not. She then said her ex husband is a brilliant actor who is suited for the role he plays on the Netflix series so she does not see where the controversy might be.
“First of all, I’m not the casting director. Some decisions are made independently. With that said, Neo is a brilliant actor, he’s a brilliant performer and he suited the role perfectly, so why not cast Neo and why is there a point of controversy?”
