The family of the late Warriors striker Tendai Ndoro has appealed for privacy as they grieve the former star, who was found dead at his Sandton apartment in Johannesburg on Monday.
In a brief statement, the family also said details of the memorial service will be announced in due course. The statement reads:
“We appreciate all the love and support, and the condolences that have been extended to his family and loved ones thus far. He was a man of the people and loved soccer with all his heart.
“We honour his achievements and his legacy, and with your support he rose to great heights. We kindly ask that you allow us time to prepare for his send off and to heal.
“Please respect the family as they grieve at this time. All details for the memorial service will be communicated in due course.”
Ndoro’s father, Silas Mukundwa, said a postmortem was conducted in South Africa on Tuesday. Said Mukundwa:
“I can confirm that his body was taken for forensics in South Africa on Tuesday. We can’t say much as we wait for the results. For now, we are not at liberty to say more and we think it’s prudent to wait for the outcome.
“For more details, kindly come back to us tomorrow. We cannot say much about his burial arrangements yet, but he will be laid to rest in Zimbabwe.
“We are still waiting to hear from those handling arrangements in South Africa.”
Mourners have been flocking to the family home in Nketa 8, Bulawayo, to pay their respects.
