Shona Ferguson Is Leaving \u2018The Queen Mzansi\u2019! It\u2019s the end of the road for another main character on the popular Mzansi Magic Telenovela and this time around it\u2019s Shona Ferguson\u2019s character, Jerry Maake.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is not the first time Jerry Maake<\/em> has been written off the storyline but this time Shona Ferguson is putting his character to rest for good. This is reportedly due to how it had become too difficult for Shona to portray the character after the death of his father.<\/p>\n Shona\u2018s mother, who only found out when the news was announced by the producers reportedly didn\u2019t take the news well. \u201cShe was not happy because I didn\u2019t tell her I was leaving the character<\/em>,\u201d Shona revealed.<\/p>\n Another reason the character was killed was because the character no longer fits into the narrative of the soapie. \u201cWe had to be honest with the story first, and the decision also shows that I\u2019m not bigger than the story itself,\u201d<\/em> Ferguson told Sunday World.<\/p>\n This might also be one of Shona\u2019s last few characters before he retires as an actor as he prepares to make the transition to behind-the-scenes roles full time. Ferguson told Sunday World he was considering working on two more projects before hanging up his acting boots. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen I started in the industry, I gave myself 10 years, because I did not like this thing of being called a celebrity. I have always wanted to be close to the creatives, creating content and spreading my wings,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n
