Pictures: Star Actress Connie Ferguson’s ex-husband revealed
South African star actress Connie Ferguson is well known for keeping her private life under wraps. The seasoned actress is one of the most celebrated actresses in Mzansi and Africa at large. She is best known for her stellar performances as Karabo on Generations.
However, she is now married to Shona Ferguson who recently made all sorts of headlines when his estranged relationship with former Generations star actress Sharon trended. Well, that’s a story for another day. Before tieing the knot with Shona, Connie was previously married to Neo Matsunyane. Many might be wondering who is Neo Matsunyane?
Neo Matsunyane is a household name, however many people recognise her for being Connie Ferguson’s ex-husband, rather than a celebrity in his own right. He is a multi-talented television presenter, actor, director, and voice artist. He had a leading role in the television series, Kelebone.
However, Matsunyane was born on the 17th of January 1967. However, he tied the knot with Connie Ferguson in the early ’90s. Despite their marriage being picture-perfect the Mzansi power couple back then didn’t tag along well. Their marriage collapsed in 1998.

Neo also has a daughter by the name of Momo Matsunyane. She is also an actress. The star actress is recognised for her roles in Chin Up! and Dream World. Leo named Momo after Kgomotso Matsunyane, who is a popular radio and television presenter in the country.
Kgomotso Matsunyane also happens to be Neo’s sister and is best known as a seasoned television director, producer, and radio presenter. She has been in the entertainment industry for over two decades now.
The public has paid extra close attention to him as his daughter, Lesedi, has grown, as she shares an extra close bond with her step-father, Shona Ferguson.
Lesedi and his stepdad Shona are very close and he treats her like his very own daughter. The amount of respect they have for each other is unmatched as Shona is constantly gushing over her and share some of his favourite dishes Lesedi prepares for her.
