Another song he is known for is "Zvachonyana" which is a song about the realities and exaggerations of love, for instance, ''kana usipo, handidye, apedza hupfu ndiyani? ''- which translates to if you aren't there my love, I won't eat, but then who is finishing the food in the cupboard. His comic take on realistic issues made him popular.
