Takudzwa Ndoro, the twin brother of the late former Zimbabwe international striker Tendai Ndoro, has made a heartfelt appeal to his late brother’s ex-girlfriends to stop sending him personal videos and photos, saying the messages are hampering his healing process.
In a statement posted on social media, Takudzwa expressed frustration over receiving private material involving his late brother, who passed away on August 18, 2025. The former Chicken Inn and Orlando Pirates star was buried in Bulawayo after a long struggle with illness.
“Dear ex-girlfriends of my twin brother, please, I am kindly asking you to stop sending me your pictures and videos with Tendai,” Takudzwa wrote. “I have a million pictures and videos that I can watch if I miss him. Keep your pictures and videos to yourselves, I don’t want them. You are disturbing my healing process. Let’s respect each other.”
The emotional message comes nearly two months after Tendai’s death, which shocked the football fraternity across southern Africa. Fans, former teammates, and clubs paid tribute to the striker, who made his name in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League before earning a high-profile move to South Africa’s Orlando Pirates.
Since Tendai’s passing, his twin brother has occasionally used social media to share memories and updates as he continues to mourn the loss. However, the recent influx of personal content from some of the late player’s past relationships appears to have taken a toll on him emotionally.
Takudzwa’s plea has sparked widespread sympathy online, with many users urging people to respect his privacy and allow him the space to grieve in peace.
The Ndoro family has largely remained private since Tendai’s death, and Takudzwa’s statement marks one of the few times a close relative has spoken publicly about the personal challenges they have faced in the aftermath of the tragedy.
