There’s nothing that I haven’t done with my husband since we were together. So now, just trying to find my feet on my own, was just so hard, but I think I’m so lucky and blessed to have had the right support around me.
“People walking with me, holding my hand, telling me, ‘Sis, we can do this’.
“My team, my producers, my director, were constantly saying ‘cons, we can do this, not only for Sho, but for you’. They call me the queen … they would say, ‘our queen, we can do this’. To which the former “Generations” actor responded: “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?”
Matsunyane and Connie tied the knot 1993 and divorced in 1998. The pair share a daughter, Lesedi Matsunyane-Ferguson.
