Connie and the couple’s two children Ali Ferguson and Lesedi Matsunyane-Ferguson have been posting tributes to him on this day every month since his passing.
This morning, Lesedi shared a touching message to her father on her Instagram profile.
“I liked it better when you were our angel on earth; at least I could nag you on if you’d eaten or find you seated weirdly on the couch or catch you up on everything MCU related.
“The more time that passes the more I feel like I left too many things unsaid.”
Ali also took to Instagram to post, simply: “Always thinking about you Fa. I love you. 4 months.”
Over the weekend, Shona was honoured at the third annual GQ Men of the Year Awards, which took place at the Four Seasons Hotel, The Westcliff in Johannesburg.
He received the Editor’s special tribute, which was accepted by Connie.
