Thembi Seete mourns the passing of the legendary actress Connie Chiume who passed away early this week.

Taking to Instagram, Thembi penned a sweet note talking about their bond; she also talked about the pain being experienced due to Connie’s death.

“I’m taking a moment to reflect on our shared memories, as it’s tough to speak about you being gone. Yet, I’m grateful for the time we had together. You treated me like a daughter, showering me with love and warmth. I feel truly blessed to have experienced that with you,” she wrote.

“Gomora family, we were united mainly because of your parental guidance. 🙏🏾❤️You effortlessly switched between being a mentor and a friend, making us feel seen and heard. Your generosity and kindness, like when Black Panther surprised you with a cheque and you celebrated by spoiling us with food and treats, are in my memory.”

“Lunchtime on Tasha’s couch was always a highlight, filled with lively conversations and laughter. I remember asking, ‘Dimples, what’s the occasion?’ and you replying, ‘Baby girl, Black Panther just paid me, so I’m blessing my family!’ Your humor and warmth made our time together unforgettable.”

“As your neighbor at work for four years, I cherished our conversations and enjoyed your humor. You may be gone, but your memory and impact live on in my heart,” Thembi Seete concluded the note.
