Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Jiti musician Baba Harare, whose real name is Braveman Chizvino, has criticised Shadaya for what he considers his extreme views on women.<\/p>\n

Posting on Twitter, Shadaya Knight said women should value their virginity and suggested that men should not pay roora \/ lobola (bride price) when they marry girls and women who are no longer virgins.<\/p>\n

Baba Harare argued that the responsibility was also on men to protect the purity of young women.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an interview with H-Metro, Baba Harare said Shadaya\u2019s views only serve to further fuel division between men and women. He said:<\/p>\n

Shadaya\u2019s views are polarising. There are some who will support his controversial views and there are some that will loathe him.<\/p>\n

Normally, I applaud him for starting conversations, but some of his views on women are problematic and can actually start a hate campaign.<\/p>\n

A society\u2019s evolution is measured by the way it treats and values its women.<\/p>\n

Women are the backbone of our society. They represent life, order and unconditional love.<\/p>\n

Shadaya, whose posts on social media are controversial, has angered some women who consider his views extremely patriarchal. He wrote on Twitter:<\/p>\n

For an African man, the moment you decide to pay lobola for a wvman you didn\u2019t devirgin, that signifies the defeat of your manhood.<\/p>\n

Lobola is a token of appreciation, so what exactly are you appreciating here, that other men didn\u2019t see fit to appreciate?<\/p>\n

Lobola is our culture, imagine denigrating our culture to celebrate a cultural delinquent. In our culture, virg!nity is of paramount importance.<\/p>\n

But here you\u2019re celebrating the opposite, instead of shaming it, your ancestors will be ashamed.<\/p>\n

What a disgrace to your lineage And with your woke-ism you\u2019ll defend your stup!dity saying \u201cit\u2019s not just about sex\u201d well you should know the previous men got also those other qualities for free.<\/p>\n

She cooked, washed, and cleaned for him. Nywe nywe it\u2019s about building a family, well, she also gave him a kid(s) If there\u2019s none, she probably has damaged her womb on contraceptives, family planning pills, jadel, morning after pills, heck even once or twice, she abort3d.<\/p>\n

Her womb is a mess, loaded with more chemicals than a laboratory. If this was in football, what you\u2019re doing is no different from breaking the bank for an old washed-up has been player, instead of getting that player on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

How do you even look at yourself, aren\u2019t you asham3d of yourself\/ You have basically admitted that the men who had her before you are superior to you, what they couldn\u2019t commit to, only you can.<\/p>\n

Settling for another man\u2019s l3ftovers. Have some shame, what a disgrace. Learn or perish!!!<\/p>\n
