Nothing screams acting legend like Connie Ferguson's name. From her days on Generations to owning her own production company, she's winning. She's also the businesswoman who's recognised internationally.
What is Connie Ferguson’s age and what is her date of birth?
Born Constance “Connie” Masilo In Kimberly, South Africa, Connie Ferguson is an actress, producer, filmmaker, and businesswoman. Born on June 10 1970, Connie is 51 years old. Her parents are Fish and Margaret Masilo.
It is a well-known fact that Connie Ferguson is originally from Kimberly, South Africa, where she was born, though has spent a large part of her growing years in Botswana. She returned to SA and made it big there.
Post her high school education, Connie Ferguson enrolled for a Criminal Law course. Unfortunately, it did not go down well for her. She flanked the course. Despite this setback, she went and successfully enrolled for a drama and performing arts degree, at the University of Kwazulu-Natal.
In 2010, power couple Connie and Shona Ferguson launched their own television production company Ferguson Films.
The shows produced by the Shona and Connie Ferguson production company include Rockville, iGazi, The Gift, The Throne, The Queen, The River, and The Imposter. No Connie Ferguson biography can be complete with The Queen – a hugely popular show in which Connie played Harriet Khoza. In 2018, she was nominated in several categories for the South African Film and Television Awards. Connie also played Mavis Mabaso in Rockville.
Both Connie and Shona Ferguson co-produced the hit television show Unmarried which first aired in 2018 and is now in its second season. The show is loaded with a lot of drama and scandals. It’s a fun, fresh, and juicy new drama about the lives of three young ladies living in Johannesburg and they juggle marriage, motherhood, relationships, and their careers.
The production company also released the hit show Kings of Joburg, which was released on the global streaming platform Netflix after The Fergusons inked a deal with the international streaming service, and it became a huge success.
Connie’s career took off with her debut role as Karabo Moroka in the long-running SABC1 hit TV show, Generations which first aired in 1994. She was on the show till October 2010, then made a brief reappearance four years later to help launch Generations: The legacy, until 2014 when she left for good.
This lady of unmatched talent made her mark in acting and had no shortage of offers for roles there afterwards. She also starred as Marang Lebone, matriarch and a helicopter-mom, in the M-Net soapie The Wild, from 2011-2013.
She played several lead roles in What If, Maitemogelo, Soul City, and Crime Reporter. Connie also has many guest appearances and cameos to brag about on shows including Okavango, Danger Zone, Matswakabele, Lesilo Rula, On The Right Track, and Suburban Bliss.
When it comes to her productions, she starred in both Mzani Magic hit dramas, Rockville and The Queen.
Connie was also a big part of advertising campaigns for Ellerines, Ultramel Custard, Black Like Me, and Vaseline. She also modelled for Black Chic, Vodacom Billboards, Eskamel, Wella, and her own Connie M Eyewear.
She owns brands like Connie Bodycare, Connie M Eyewear, etc.
It all began when the star was voted one of South Africa’s Ten Most Beautiful Women in Cosmopolitan Magazine in 1993. Since then, Connie has added several feathers to her cap, including being on the cover of Forbes Africa and featuring in David Dodd’s Portraits of South Africa’s most beautiful women.
The mom of two doesn’t let her busy career get in the way of her active lifestyle and fitness regime. With youthful looks and abs of steel that fans can’t stop talking about, Connie takes her time at the gym very seriously.
The star also takes time with family very seriously. When she isn’t doting on her grandson King Ro, she’s cheering both daughters Alicia and Lesedi as well as Husband Shona on her social media posts. The Connie Ferguson Instagram account is highly followed with fans showing love and respect for everything she posts.
Connie grew up in a tight-knit family and has a young sister Atoise Pilane whom Connie calls “Twinny” as many say they look alike. Sadly, her mother passed away in 2013, which left Connie devastated.
All you need to know about Connie Ferguson’s kids, marriage, divorce, and happily ever after
Connie was married to actor Neo Matsunyane in 1993. The marriage didn’t last long, and the two divorced in 1998. The two have a daughter, Lesedi Matsunyane, and are currently on good terms with each other.
Three years after the divorce, her fans received news about Connie Ferguson’s second wedding. Connie married Aaron Shona Ferguson in November 2001. The two renewed their wedding vows in 2011 in a beautiful ceremony. Connie and Shona Ferguson will have been married for 19 years as of 2021. They have a daughter, Alicia Angel Ferguson, born on June 7th, 2002.
Shona loves to spoil his wife with lavish gifts, home-cooked meals, flowers, and fancy cars.
Despite their stellar image, Connie and Shona Ferguson can’t escape controversy simply because of their fame. One of the biggest dramas they faced was when one of Ferguson Films’ disgruntled employees claimed that the production company was slave drivers. Ferguson films broke their silence on the accusations stating that these rumours were the product of misguided allegations made by actress Vatiswa Ndara.
The iGazi actress, who at the time played a role in the series, wrote a letter to the Minister of Arts where she alleged ‘poor remuneration, unfair contractual agreement, unfair treatment by producers, and made claims about bullying and intimidation in the industry’.
Connie and Shona released the following statement about the allegations via their legal representative;
“As actors ourselves and producers, we are aware of the challenges facing the entertainment industry. We fully support a need for the industry to be regulated and the Performance Protection Amendment Bill to be signed sooner rather than later. With that said, the allegations made by various actors do not reflect the true position of the industry and paint a false picture that may mislead the public.”
Another blow at Connie’s image came when Glamour magazine uncovered its April 2020 cover featuring Connie. The cover instantly shot to the top of the ranks on the trending list but for the wrong reasons. Fans didn’t react the way they usually did to Connie’s flawless images in the past. Instead, they were taken aback by the bodysuit and leather jacket combo paired with an uncharacteristic bob wig that made the loveable star look severe.
Connie’s been using her fame and influence for the greater good these days. Ferguson Productions hosted sexual harassment impact workshop on the set of The Queen Mzansi recently. Both cast and crew members shared their thought on how sexual harassment can be ended and pledged that they will never commit the crime. The campaign fits well with the recent trend where celebs have been using their social platforms to call for an end to gender-based violence and human trafficking.
Connie Ferguson owns a fleet of top of the range cars. Some of the best Shona and Connie Ferguson cars are a Maserati, a Mercedes Benz AMG63, A Rolls Royce, a Bentley, and a Range Rover, to name a few.
Connie also takes time out to enjoy her mansion, which she first showed off to the public in 2017. We got a glimpse of the perfectly manicured lawns and amazing views in a video showing husband Shona riding a motorbike up and down the driveway of the Shona and Connie Ferguson house.
As of 2021, Connie Ferguson’s total net worth is estimated to be approximately $2 million.
