Gringo says he is poor and could not pay his medical bills
because of piracy. He has been discharged from hospital and is now recovering
at home.
“If it wasn’t for piracy, with ‘Gringo Troublemaker’ I
would have had made enough to cover my own medical bills. We produce good
enough content that could compete internationally if there were good support
structures that curb piracy and develop the sector into an industry.
“Instead of artistes begging for help, we should be the
ones rendering assistance to the community building hospitals and schools,
while aiding those less fortunate and those in disaster-hit areas. It saddens
me that we are the ones who now have to go back seeking assistance,” Gringo told
the Herald.
“I will keep on acting. I will not stop pleasing the people
of Zimbabwe, because even in my time of need it is their prayers and financial
contributions that keeps me going. For that I’m eternally grateful,” he said.
