Sungura musician Alick Macheso has blasted Jacob Moyana for his song Munotidako saying the song lacks decency and should be banned.
In some Shona dialects munotidako means buttocks, and obscenely so too.

Speaking at an award presentation ceremony where he was presented with his prize money of $1 200 for scooping the 2013 Radio Zimbabwe Coca Cola Top 50, Macheso said he was shocked by the level of indecency showed by the composer of the controversial song.
"I am shocked that a person can sit down and compose such a song. What are we trying to teach our children when we compose songs that have vulgar connotations?" asked Macheso.
He also accused backyard studios for recording songs that harbour explicit content.
"The problem is that we now have many backyard studios who just record for the sake of money," he said.
However, Moyana maintained that his song was not vulgar.
"My song is not vulgar, it's a work of art and you know that people have different interpretations to art. When I wrote the song, it was simple and straight forward, so if people interpret the song otherwise, it's none of my business," he said.
Moyana said the song was just one out of six tracks taken off his fourth album entitled Kana Muchitidako.
"It's quite sad that it's only Kana Muchitidako which is getting an overwhelming response but there are five other good tracks on that album. People must buy the album and listen to them all," he said.
Moyana said Macheso should not lecture him about decency as his songs also had sexually suggestive messages.
"He is the one who has indecent songs while his female fans do dirty moves at his shows, so he must not try to teach me about decency," he said.
