What is Connie Chiume’s role on Gomora?

“Sonto is such a layered woman. One minute she’s praying and the next she’s in the back office counting money from hijacking profits. I thought people would hate her or when they see me they would act out but instead people are just fascinated. The thing is she’s not pretending to be either of the sides people have seen, she’s actually both” Connie shared.
