Tsholofelo Matshaba lost her husband three years into their marriage.The actress described her pain as “cutting and burning like a hot rod.”
“…my life was turned upside down. Our Lord called my best friend home. My best friend, my companion, my husband. Our Father called you home. …. it still cuts and burns like a hot rod,”
Her husband, Chris Matshaba, who was a radio presenter at Motsweding FM and North West FM died after a brief hospital stay after losing his lengthy battle with cancer in February 2018.
Tsholo said sleeping alone was especially hard, and recounted how she would fall asleep on his chest.
“Never in a million years did I ever think I would be where I am, without you. Never did I think we would go through ’till death do us part’ only three years into our marriage. Never did I think I’d go to sleep alone, without you. When I couldn’t sleep, I’d put my head on your chest and, like that, I’d fall right back to sleep. That is love”
“I am grateful to have been blessed to have you and all your true love. It was always sweet to call you my angel, now it’s bittersweet. I used to tell you that I’m not lucky to have you in my life. I am blessed. Still, I love you. Still, I respect you. Still, I admire you. Still, I love you. Always and forever.”
