Personal life

Anna Nengomasha, the mother of Tinashe Nengomasha revealed that during the early days of her son's career, Tinashe would skip training with the national team because he was afraid of playing alongside Peter Ndlovu and officials would come home in search of him.[4] Anna also attributed the success of her son to her consistent prayers and fasting before every match. She said she was a member of an apostolic sect and that every time Tinashe goes into a game with Kaizer Chiefs she would go into fasting for 24 hours before every game and her son would nearly always have a great match.[5]

He married Samantha Mtukudzi, the daughter of the late Music legend, Oliver Mtukudzi.[6] The couple wedded on 25 December 2011 but had a scandalous divorce just 8 years later.[7] They have two children.
