The Premier Soccer League has joined the football fraternity in mourning the passing of former Warriors and Orlando Pirates striker, Tendai Ndoro, who has died at the age of 40.

Reports indicate that Ndoro was found dead in his apartment in South Africa. News of his passing was first shared by Belgian-based former Zimbabwe international Cephas Chimedza, who posted a picture of Ndoro in Warriors colours with the caption: “Fire R.I.P Chief Striker.”

Nicknamed Fire, Ndoro burst onto the scene in the 2013 Cosafa Cup, where his performances for the Warriors and Chicken Inn earned him a move to Mpumalanga Black Aces in South Africa. His prolific scoring form quickly made him a fan favourite and paved the way for a big move to Orlando Pirates.

From there, he went on to play for Al-Faisaly in Saudi Arabia, Ajax Cape Town, Highlands Park, and later Al-Orouba in Oman, enjoying a career that took him across Africa and the Middle East.

However, concerns about his health emerged in 2021 when images circulated on social media showing Ndoro looking frail, with reports suggesting he had even lost his eyesight.

Despite the struggles in his later years, Ndoro’s contribution to Zimbabwean football remains indelible. The PSL said in its tribute that his spirit will “forever remain part of Zimbabwean football history.”

He will be remembered as one of the most talented forwards of his generation, a player who brought joy to fans and lifted the Warriors’ attack with his skill and goals.

May his soul rest in peace.
