CONNIE FERGUSON: I'M NOT THE CASTING DIRECTOR The Kings of Joburg actress Connie Ferguson, who played a Masire Mermaid in season one and plays Veronica Masire in season two revealed in an interview with Bongani Bingwa on 702 on Friday (27 January) that her ex-husband Neo Matsunyane is a brilliant performer.
In the interview, the 707 Bongani Bingwa says the producer: A point of controversy, I mean, not for you, but for certain viewers that might raise an eyebrow or two you've cast Neo Matsunyane in the second

The Queen co-creator and actress 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?

PLAYING VERONICA IN KINGS OF JOBURG' The award-winning actress-producer Connie Ferguson first appeared as a Masire Mermaid, who tortured Simon Masire (played by the late Shona Ferguson) in Kings of Joburg season one and plays Veronica Masire in season two alongside her ex-husband Neo Matsunyane.
--
She makes a shocking return at Mogomotsi Masire (Zolisa Xaluva) and Phumzi's (Cindy Mahlangu) wedding and surprises her family, who haven't seen her in years.
She stars alongside Gomora's Zolisa Xaluva, who has to carry the dark family secret his on-screen brother Simon Masire (played by Shona Ferguson) carried in season one.
Veronica disappeared from her family decades ago after she was sexually abused and travelled the world to escape her terrible past.
Returning cast members include Gomora's Thembi Seete, The Queen's Cindy Mahlangu, Nnekwa Tsajwa, Muvhango's Buhle Samuels, Thapelo Mokoena, TK Sebothoma and Altovise Lawrence.
The Masires, haunted by a supernatural family curse, find themselves tangled in a web of betrayal that threatens to destroy the family in this riveting new season.
The eight-part, action-drama series picks up from a successful first season which saw fragmented family structures, treacherous brotherhoods, and a deal with the devil , reports The Citizen.
TshisaLIVE reports that the actress, who is also the executive producer has dedicated the second season to her late husband Shona Ferguson, who created the award-winning series.
In memory of the most amazing human being I have known, the King of Joburg Shona Ferguson, aka Mr Sho, aka Uncle Sho. This is for you, my love. Hope you're proud.
