[2][3] Ndira lived in the township of Mabvuku and Tafara, east of the capital, Harare, and was a "prominent activist"[4] member of the Movement for Democratic Change.

[6][7][8] The Sunday Herald reported: Ndira was accused of taking part in an assault in 2006 against MP Trudy Stevenson and three other members of the splinter pro-Senate MDC-M.[9] He and several others were arrested, then released without charge due to lack of evidence.

[10] He was abducted from his home by ten unidentified armed men early in the morning of 13 May 2008, in the context of campaigning between the two rounds of the 2008 presidential election.

His body was found later in the month; it was reported that he had been shot in the heart, with multiple stab wounds, his eyes gouged, his tongue cut out, and his neck, skull, jaw and knuckles broken.

[1] Following the discovery of his body on 22 May, Ndira was buried at Warren Hills Cemetery in Harare three days later.
