We studied together many years ago, and as fate had it we met again through family ties.

You were our big brother, our role model when we needed one. Always cheerful, calm and focused on the important things in life. You left an imprint on our lives that perhaps you never realised, 'Bla dzi'. May your soul rest in eternal peace.

Tonderai- a colleague, friend & “brother in law”. You left us too soon. Papa you changed the world of nursing by setting an unprecedented example. Your hard work, kindness, smile & ability to handle others will be exceeded by none. Can’t believe that we won’t be able to have those early morning conversations in the NLF S car park again. Rest in peace Papa.

You were such a kind and good person and i am lucky to have known you. You're greatly missed.

RIP Papa

Papa we have worked together for a long time from Camlet1. Very out going & full of life . Cherished your pieces of advice. Very jovial & I made you laugh a lot with my dancing . Good team player. Good listener. Sorted things out for me . You will be greatly missed . Rest in Peace . Aurevoir

Our dearest Sekuru, words can’t describe how we feel , your death has left me speechless and confused, this period is a very trying one for us You made so many of us proud of who we are. Hamba kahle.....Sizoku bona phambili.

Amazing team worker. It was a blessing to work with you and will miss you greatly. Rest in peace wonderful soul.

Babmunini MaQuiet, I’m lost for words Ndarwadziwa!
RIP gentle giant!

I didnt have the chance to work directly with you, but i had the chance to know you through work. It was alway a pressure to see you around work. You were so friendly, kind and caring. You was always up to have a chat. You had such a warm energy with all stuff and patients. May you rest in peace Tundari. Courage and love to your family. This is a huge and sad loss to us all xx

I feel deeply priveleged to have known Tonderai. His warmth, kindness and brightest of smiles will be sorely missed by everyone who knew and loved him. My thoughts are with his family at this time xx

How to express the pain felt over the loss of a parent is something that no one ever teaches anyone and no one can ever explain the shock, the fear of living without the person, the shared memories, the impact they brought to your life, the one on one talks, the sad moments shared, the good and happy times even the arguments.

Sekuru Baba Beja, Sekuru MaQuiet, Uncle Wellington, I as a child am at a loss of words, the pain is deep for you were a father to the fatherless, and very selfless in all that you did for the betterment of not just the present but the future. No one can and no one will replace you for you were one of a kind. A leader, a champion of togetherness, a constant source of wisdom even when we all hit a brick wall.

You will be missed

It is a great shock to hear you have left us. Gone to a peaceful place, were you do not have to fight Papa and on the right hand of the lord. You are one of the most amazing, approachable, receptive person I have ever met and worked with. It look like yesterday working with you and receiving all that tutoring. The support, advice and care  you gave me has made me who I am today. Papa de papa as I always call you and your military salute we always accord each order and you always give me permission to carry on. A rare gem has past. "Out of sight is not out of mind, you will be forever treasured and remembered".

May your gentle soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences goes to your family. You will forever be missed .

My deepest condolence to the Dzingai family.
Charismatic, knowledgeable, supportive and jovial are just a few words that spring to mind when I think of you my brother. Tonderai (aka papa) was part of my foundation when starting at NLFS and help shaped me to be the nurse I am today. I will forever be grateful for his support and guidance.

Such a sad loss, May his soul rest in peace.

Tonderai,
It was great and memorable knowing you as a supervisor and mentor. Even when l left BEH, l still kept in touch and your voice encouraged me. I will greatly miss you! Rest! Papa, in perfect peace.

Oh no, I’m shocked for words.Papa as you always called me rest in the bosom of our dear Lord . You were a friend,gentleman, and a loving brother who will always be missed

Papa, as I will always call you, our hearts are broken. You've gone too soon! We would have loved to continue to share your warmth, knowledge and wisdom. You were always ready with a word of encouragement and support with every situation. I am so saddened but God knows best.
May you rest in the bosom of the Lord.

May Your Soul Rest in Eternal Peace

We are still in shock and numbed by the news of his passing. A brilliant, genuine and lovely man who had time for everyone. You will be sorely missed by us all. Thank you for enriching our lives.

Our sincerest condolences to the Dzingai family and especially to his wife and children. Nematambudziko.

God Bless

Heaven has gained an angel. Rest In Peace Tonderai

Sekuru Dzingai!Unbelievable!!The shock?The raw grief? You have shredded my heart Papa,if I had know that day in Mwanaka was the last day?I would have stayed longer? You said see you around, where do we see you Papa?How do you just exit like this??Its so hard, a phone call away all the time to advise me & mentor me!I was soo proud of you & the great work you were doing at Cardamom.You had sooo much to live for my leaderMy heart is so sore but it is well,God needed a hard working soldier,rest in peace Sekuru

So sad, so painful, to lose such a kind-hearted and generous person. Rest in Peace Tonderai, knowing that you will forever remain in the hearts of those you have touched with your kindness & generosity.

My dear PAPA we have come a very long way together and today you have gone forever and I will never see you again. I remember the very first day we started at the NLFS and since then you have always shown me the right way and have always encouraged and motivate me in my career It is still a very big shock for all of us in cardamom ward and find it unbelievable that you left us and we will never see your laughter and good humour again. You have always insisted and fight for all of us on the ward so that we wear PPE to protect ourselves from that deadly disease and you reminded all of us everyday. Our staff will always remember you for the great and excellent work you have carried out in cardamom ward. We will always follow your advise you gave us. RIP my manager, my great friend and a brother.May your soul rest in peace.On behalf of myself and all the staff from cardamom ward as well as all the patients we are sending our warmth sympathy and condoleances to your family and wish them courage. Good bye again.

One of the most loveliest people I have ever worked with. It was a pleasure to work with you Tonderai. You were an inspiration to everyone. You always had a smile on your face and a kind word to say and a fantastic sense of humour and your smile brightened up the darkest of days. I am going to miss you so much. It was a pleasure knowing you. Rest in peace Tonderai.

You have been an inspiration for all of us who had the fortune of coming into your armpit. Now that you have left us for your heavenly abode, we can only hope and pray that your soul rest in peace.

Va Dzinga , Gone to soon, Father to all, Thank you for your kindness, words of wisdom and encouragement. A great leader you were. You will never be forgotten...May your soul rest in peace. Farewell Gamba, wezhira.

Rest in peace, I knew you only briefly, but you were always so lovely xx

It has been an absolute privilege to work with Tonderai for the last few years. Your compassion, ‘no probs’ approach and generosity of time and spirit will be sorely missed. I will miss your smile, energy and our dancing moments. The ward, the service, the nhs have lost one of its warmest leaders and an absolute gentlemen. Always remembered, your legacy of compassion and positivity will live on. Xx

Tonderai for the long conversations, the support, the encouragement, the reassurance, the compliments, the drinks at the club, the jokes (even when I was so stressed as a unit coordinator)....I say thank you.
I’m glad I always showed you the respect and appreciation you deserved.
I’ll miss you a lot Tonderai. Cardamom won’t be the same, the entire NLFS won’t be the same and parties won’t be the same without you.
RIP to a man with a heart of gold and a great demeanour

Tonderai you are one of the amazing personne that I ever work with, very kind, supportive,humble , always there when needed. Cardamom ward will miss you
BOSS 
R.I.P

It’s several hours now, since I received a call to tell me you had crossed over to the other side Tonderai. The news is still hard to take. You have left a void to the BEH family and my sincere condolences to your family & loved ones. RIP sir

Tonderai!
You are most definitely the most sociable, easy going, hardworking, supportive manager. Your office door remained open for all, even when I would come just to jist small. You will surely be missed papa and your legacy will go on! Rest easy Tonderai ... We love and miss you 

Papa Tonderai we are all shocked that your gone, you will never be forgotten and will be truly missed.

PAPA,
You were always a fighter. Remembering you as a colleague, friend and mentor. I shall cherish those beautiful moments we had over the years...
Rest in peace my dear friend...

A legend is gone. One thing for sure is that you lived a great life and left a great legacy. God will comfort the beautiful family you left behind papa. Adieu

can not believe you have gone my friend . i believe god always takes the good ones first this time hes got one of the best R.I,P tondi
 

Papa!

We are all still in shock. You blessed us with your humour, knowledge and wisdom frequently. You were a shining example to all of us on what it takes to be a man of honor and respect.

We miss you and love you.

Uncle Tonderai, I don’t know where to begin as I’m so devastated. We have lost a great legend and kind hearted soul! I recall when I started in Forensics and whenever I did bank shifts on Sage. I knew that I was always in safe hands no matter how difficult the ward would get and you were so supportive. I will miss your sense of humour. Heaven has gained an angel. May your dear soul rest in eternal peace Papa Tondi til we meet again.

Dearest Tonderai, I’m still in shock at the news but what is grounding is the memories I have of you. I will never forget how you first introduced yourself to me, with such warmth, enthusiasm and cheekiness. Even in the face of adversity you would be so brave and never let anything get you down.

I will miss you papa de papa.

You brought sunshine with your wonderful smile. Your calmness, even in the most challenging of situations was notable. Will miss you dearly. Rest in perfect peace, Papa. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.

Tonderai... rest in peace. You were such a kind, humble, caring and an amazing man. You knew how to put a smile on everyones face. You were one of a kind and heaven has gained a special angel. You will be missed by everyone xx

Rest In peace Papa heaven has most definitely gained the most humble kind guy you will be so missed sleep tight

REST IN PEACE .

Where do I start.. so many memories.
You were there on my first day as a qualified nurse. Initially you were going to be my mentor but they told you that you were going to another ward.
But that didn’t stop you teaching me... and I’ll never forget the Sunday I got stuck at the hospital and you got a taxi to drop me off food so I wasn’t hungry.
I keep thinking about all the lovely memories.
I really am going to miss you, you really did make my first couple of weeks of nursing the best.
Take m’cAre (I loved it when ever you said that)
I hope you rest well. 

We will miss you Tonderai
You had an amazing presence and filled our workplace with so much joy, your vibrant energy and politeness made everyone feel comfortable. It’s hard to understand why you had to go but I am great full to have known a person like you.
Rest in perfect peace, the Lord will protect the family you left

Tonderai....it pains to have to write this because it’s just not fair. Such a beautiful person and you were taken from us, I’m just so angry it’s unreal. I am deeply saddened that I did not see you once I left. You’re the reason I planned to come back for shifts, just to see your face again.
I remember I used to dragggg! my feet for shifts and you would say “don’t worry papa is here, everything will go smoothly” and you were always right ! It did!
Or when I used to wait for you to hang up on phone calls just so I could hear you say (high pitched voice) “byeee” (I stole this from you by the way!)
I really do hope you knew how much you were loved! Because you were VERY much loved! I have endless tears.
I miss you so much
Rest well.. we shall meet again.. xxx
