One thing the writer and the executive producer of the previous Gringo series, Enock Chihombori, must be credited for is selecting right characters.Anyone who could assume the role of Firimoni had to be good at acting dull and the writer’s choice in Fanuel Tonganayi who assumed the role was striking.
