Apostle Talent Chiwenga entered the discussion regarding Baba Harare's musical direction toward Jiti traditions. The controversial preacher defended the genre as a legitimate form of Zimbabwean cultural expression rather than sinful entertainment. Chiwenga characterized Jiti as a traditional artistic expression designed to encourage and entertain audiences. He emphasized that the musical style does not conflict with religious beliefs. The apostle distinguished between authentic Jiti traditions and performance elements he considers problematic.

Chiwenga identified specific concerns about the performer's choreography rather than the musical genre itself. He described certain dance movements as sexually suggestive and inappropriate for traditional Jiti presentations. The preacher attributed these controversial elements to the artist's personal creative choices rather than authentic cultural practices. This commentary follows Baba Harare's public declaration that he maintains his Christian faith while pursuing Jiti as his professional focus. Religious and entertainment communities continue debating the musician's career decision.
