Reeling from the loss, Ndoro's family have now broken their silence, with his mother urging his former colleagues to come and pay their final respects to the ex-Warriors marksman.
According to Zimbabwean outlet Herald Online, Ndoro's father, Silas Mukundwa, confirmed that the ex-striker will be laid to rest in his homeland.
"We are still making contacts with those who are in South Africa. Tendai, our son, will be buried here at home,” he said.
"Some family members and fans are still on their way. It has been a devastating situation but we are happy with the support we have been getting.”
Ndoro’s mother, Christina, invited former teammates and colleagues to celebrate his life.
"I invite all who played with Tendai to come and celebrate his life as someone who they played football with.
"There are many things that Tendai did for us as a family and we can’t mention all, but God knows what he did for us and he has taken him back."
Ndoro, who retired in 2020, enjoyed the peak years of his career in South Africa, representing the likes of Pirates, Mpumalanga Black Aces, Highlands Park, and Ajax Cape Town.
