Ama Qamata expresses herself on social media following the passing of a mother figure, Connie Chiume.
The veteran actress was announced dead on Tuesday, as she took her last breath at a hospital in Johannesburg.
Taking to Instagram, Ama shared a photo revealing the sweet bond she had with the 72-year-old.
Ama Qamata also wrote a touching note in tribute to the legend and how she was impacted by her.
“What a heavy day it’s been. I can’t wrap my head around everything that’s happened in the last 24 hours. How does one say goodbye when they’re not ready to? How do I even put into words the woman that you were, the light you carried, and the love you selflessly poured into all of us?”
“I had the pleasure of playing Mam Connie’s granddaughter on ‘Gomora’ and she took on the role beyond the screen, always checking in on us, the first to celebrate our achievements, correct us if we were wrong and also occasionally bring some baked goodies on set.”
“I will miss you so much Mama and I want to thank you for everything you’ve done. I am so honored to have experienced the magic of the legendary Connie Chiume, I love you and I hope you rest in eternal peace. My sincerest condolences to the Chiume family, thank you for sharing her with us,” Ama wrote.
