Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Filmmaker Shona Ferguson is reported to be fighting for his life at a private hospital in Johannesburg after he struggled to breathe and complained of chest pains at home.<\/p>\n

The actor underwent heart surgery when he got admitted to the private care unit and is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).<\/p>\n

Sources claim the actor has been in hospital for a week and that a group of specialists performed a heart operation after his condition got worse.<\/p>\n

Connie referred all inquiries about her husband\u2019s health to The Queen\u2019s production manager Lauren Nell who did not reply to any messages when she was contacted.<\/p>\n

A source close to the situation, however, said Shona was fine before he started complaining about chest pains and not being able to breathe properly.<\/p>\n

According to the source, they took it lightly because Shona is a fit and healthy guy who leads a healthy lifestyle. Little did they know that the situation would turn bad. Said the source:<\/p>\n

He is a fighter and he will pull through this ordeal. Yes, at the moment he is in ICU, but he will be fine.<\/p>\n

Connie was by her man\u2019s side while trying to run their business. She is strong and carries on with grace and class.<\/p>\n

There were also rumours that the actor contracted Covid-19 and is currently under quarantine as he was also placed on a ventilator at the hospital.<\/p>\n

The Queen is currently trending on social media after the explosive Season 5 finale last Friday. The Sebatas and the Khozas took aim at each other and left viewers gasping for air at every scene as it rained bullets for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
