“If you look, there are many sacred places that were profaned.
“These include Sana, Majiri Ngomakurira and Chinhoyi Caves, which are now places where people gather to have fun.
Traditionally children could not attend funerals, but nowadays you can see them in the body-viewing procession,” he said.
The artiste, who has also spread his wings to scriptwriting said he was working on a television series Tsine Mumhango which advocates against child marriage and gender-based violence.
