GALLERY: Inside the unveiling of Shona Ferguson’s tombstone

3y By Staff Bona

Almost three years after the passing of actor Shona Ferguson, his wife Connie Ferguson, family members and friends continued celebrating his life at a recent tombstone unveiling ceremony.

Born Aaron Arthur Ferguson on 30 April 1974 in Gaborone, Botswana, Shona died on July 30 2021 due to complications with COVID-19. The Gift actor was laid to rest on 4 August at the Fourways cemetery located in Johannesburg.

Guests at the ceremony were all dressed in white, which – according to internationally recognised colour expert Kate Smith – symbolises cleanliness, simplicity and purity.

Familiar faces including Connie’s Generations colleague Sophie Ndaba, singer Teboho Moloi, as well as social media personalities Tumi Links and Jabulani ‘Cashflow’ Ngcobo were spotted.

Take a look at snaps of the ceremony, organised by Nono Events, below.
