First of all, I didn’t wanna let him down, and I didn’t know if I would have the strength to do it without him because he was a big part of it.” she said in the interview.”
Ferguson also recently starred in Netflix’s The Heart of The Hunter, where she portrays a villain Molebogeng Kwena, a double agent in the intelligence agency.
The twisty spy-thriller is based on the novel by acclaimed author Deon Meyer and directed by the renowned Mandla Dube (Silverton Siege).
