Tendai Ndoro, who was found in his apartment on Monday, said he was lonely after being abandoned by family and friends.
Ndoro was 40 at
the time of his passing. Messages which have been passed on to H-Metro, reveal
a man who was virtually lonely and who felt isolated.
One of the
touching messages, to a friend, reads: “Since I moved into the new apartment
(in Sandton) I never had visitors. The divorce thing made me to stay away from
a lot of things, rebuilding and taking it slow but surely.”
He added in another message: “Pain has built me a lot, I fought a silent battle alone, no support from family and friends.” Last week, Ndoro and a friend had planned to renew their driving licences in Pretoria. The friend said he was complaining of a nagging headache and nose-bleeding. That was the last time they chatted.
Phone calls and
messages then went unanswered afterwards until the phone switched off. After
almost a week of silence, worried friends then went to his apartment. Caretakers
opened the apartment and his lifeless body was found on the floor. He was diabetic.
