Busi also played lead on Netflix comedy series, On How to Ruin Christmas.

“Oh my Busi,
How grateful I am to have walked with you, to have played sister to you.
I have met many great talents, none as great as you!!!
Thank you for the most memorable moments.
Stubborn as hell!!! But my babe, did you know your worth!!!
You leave that with us …I promise to speak when I know I need to be heard, to laugh from my belly, and to dance even when there’s no music.
I love you my chicken, mam’ncane, rest now my love, my evergreen ❤️,” Thando said.
