Footballer Tendai Ndoro was once married to Thando Maseko with whom he had a troubled relationship with, which ended with a case of domestic violence against the footballer and a divorce.

The footballer was arrested for allegedly strangling his wife, and also throwing a TV set at her after they got into a heated dispute over car keys.

Maseko also accused Ndoro of infidelity by claiming that he had an affair with a prominent ANC member who was funding his lifestyle. 

Ndoro at the time denied the charges saying he had never laid hands on her and she fabricated the assault charges in order to tarnish his good name.

He also accused Maseko of fraudulently setting up a marriage certificate between them when they had only been married customarily. 

Maseko insisted that their marriage certificate was authentic and that Ndoro was the one who forced her to obtain the certificate fraudulently.

She accused him of lying and claimed the reason he made her do it was because he wanted her to help his daughter get a South African birth certificate. The couple went their separate ways after their tumultuous marriage however it seems to be a thing of the past now.
