Rosemary could not hold back her tears when recalling a scene they shared where Mpho died.
“We shot a scene where you left me, and you promised that you would never leave me like that. You promised that we would live until we're 90 years old and we will jive and we will win Oscars together and we will travel the world with our art. But it's OK, I'll still do it for us,” she said.
“I also want to thank God for how consistent you were, how you served him, how you were so kind to everybody that you met. I thank God for your unforgettable smile and your contagious laugh. The hug that you gave me felt like home. Your endless forehead kisses 'cause you thought I was shorter than you.”
