THE sad news of the unexpected passing of actor and TV producer Aaron Arthur Ferguson, better known as Shona Ferguson, has left Mzansi in shock.
The well-known businessman, executive producer and co-founder of Ferguson Films from Botswana died on Friday, 30 July, at the age of 47.
He died at Netcare Hospital in Milpark, Joburg, due to Covid-19 related complications.
Speaking to Daily Sun, a representative from the Ferguson Foundation Conrad Mwanza said that the TV boss passed way today in the afternoon.
“Everything is still fresh and the family is trying to process everything, especially Connie who was very close with Shona and loved him deeply, and they are asking to be given an opportunity to mourn in private as this is a very difficult time in their lives,” he said.
While a source that asked not to be named revealed to Daily Sun the TV boss passed away two hours ago.
"He was still in the ICU and he was not stable at all. You know with the Covid-19 complications, one moment you are okay and then you are not, and then your health starts deteriorating. And the wife was here almost every day to check up on him."
Shona and Connie have two daughters, one biological daughter and the other from Connie’s previous marriage.
They own Ferguson Films and have produced shows such as Rockville, iGazi, The Gift, The Throne, The Herd, The Queen, The River and The Imposter and a Netflix six-part series called Kings of Joburg.
Shona appeared on other shows such as Muvhango, Generations, Isidingo: The Need and Scandal!.
