Zolisa Xaluva has remembered actor and producer Shona Ferguson.

Shona died in July last year from complications related to Covid-19. His death sent shock waves across the nation.

Zolisa took to Instagram to share a fond memory of his on-screen brother, recalling his advice about not paying attention to the hate.

The actor and Shona played the Masire brothers in the first season of Kings of Joburg.

"It's at times like these I miss this guy. He would always say: 'For each hater you have you have 1,000 people who love you. Embrace their love. Throw away the hate'. Thanks to my loyal family. My supporters. My friends. Let's keep going."

On social media, Shona's wife Connie never ceases to celebrate the late actor's life.

Connie said she would never stop missing him.

"I'll never stop missing you. Hope you’re resting well my angel. I love you for eternity," she wrote.

At the funeral Connie said they were not ready to let Shona go.

“I'm hurting right now, my heart is bleeding.  I was not ready for you to go, the girls were not ready for you to go. When you became sick, I don't think we've ever prayed so much in our lives. We prayed and believed in God for your healing.”
