Shona was born on 30 April, 1974.
In a deeply emotional Instagram post, Connie shared a heartfelt tribute, reminiscing about their life together and the memories that continue to sustain her.
“My KING would have been 51 today! Happy Heavenly Birthday MY SKAT,” she wrote.

Shona, a beloved actor and producer, passed away on July 30, 2021, due to Covid-19-related complications.
His death left a void in the South African entertainment industry, where he had made a lasting impact through Ferguson Films, the production company he co-founded with Connie.
