So so sad mkoma Chris we shall miss you a lot we had some database in your particularly in as far as refraction issues are concerned. May your soul rest in eternal peace!
Gone far too soon. We shared some awesome times together, whether it be laughing, praying or just hanging out. I even remember you and Dave stuck in a room, playing SimCity all night when we had a party at the house once. Reminder to us all, treasure everyday and don’t forget to smile. Memories forever RIP, till we meet again brother.
I want to take a moment to reflect on a kind hearted man, Chris, who left us far too soon. One of the memories that stands out the most is when Chris and his bride-to-be Mwaka came to my house one evening and asked me to MC at their wedding…wow omg now, I had never done anything like that before, and to be honest, I was nervous. But Chris’ confidence in me meant everything. It was such an honor that he believed in me to take on that role, and it really touched my heart. We got along so well, and i should of kept in touch with Chris a lot more…..he was always so easygoing, outdoors guy loved the bush as he would always tell me which made it impossible not to feel comfortable around him. Chris’ warmth and belief in the people he cared about will always stay with me. He may be gone, but his memory will never fade..MHSRIP..love always bro..Tawanda Mushonga
My tsano, young brother and dear friend. Sad we had to part this way. I was so much looking forward to seeing you just a couple of months ago while I was in Zimbabwe but it never came to be. It’s painful for me to think that we will never again have those long conversations with lots of humour that I’d grown to cherish and will never forget. I’ll forever miss you buddy. Rest in eternal peace.
My heartfelt condolences to the family of Chris.
We met when he visited in Kenya while working with BHVI.
To loose a humble dedicated individual who put our profession a head is a big blow to Optometry fraternity in the continent.
May God comfort the family
Chris was an amazing friend and colleague to myself and my wife. He had a tremendous zest for life and had the ability to light up any room with his smile. He was the best man at my wedding and gave one one the most memorable speeches. I am heartbroken. Words cannot properly express how much he will be missed. I will always hold my memories of our time together at university and in Zimbabwe close to my heart. Rest well shamwari.
Rest in peace my friend. In loving memory from Deryck and Jen Fisher. Brisbane Australia

Condolences to the Kumora/ Nyamafene/Changara families during this difficult time🙏❤️
Sekuru Chris, we loved you so much. Too heartbroken to say much. This day came too soon and so unexpectedly kulu. You ran your race. We will forever cherish the memories we made with u.until we meet again.
Chris! Wow difficult to believe. Such sad news. You were such a reliable comrade. Eyecare In Africa has lost a great leader. Our last meeting was in Ghana when you visited in 2023. I was supposed to retaliate the visit to Zim. Your exact words. This is painful. Rest well senior. Remi AFCO / GOA
I have joined from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of my brother’s last service.
Chris Kumora and I worked together for BHVI and AFCO. I had the privilege of traveling with him through Tanzania on several occasions. He was more than a colleague; he was a brother, a gentleman, dedicated, and truly passionate about helping others.
My heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, family, ZOA, and AFCO. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 🕊️💔🙏🏾🌍
My heartfelt condolences on Chris’s passing. He was a truly remarkable person whose impact will be deeply missed. May his legacy bring comfort and strength to his family, friends, and all who knew him during this difficult time.
Thanks so much for making access to the service available to those of us who have worked with Chris over many years, but reside far away from Zimbabwe. I have great memories of my visits there with CBM and with times spent with Chris and Zimbabwean Optometry colleagues. I trust the family and friends know Gods presence with you all today.
My heartfelt condolences on Chris’s passing. He was a truly remarkable person whose impact will be deeply missed. May his legacy bring comfort and strength to his family, friends, and all who knew him during this difficult time.

You left too soon young bruv. I am really struggling to believe that I will never see you again. The wounds you have created will never heal.
I am so heartbroken and I think the heavens are rejoicing.
Rest in peace Unendoro
HelpAge Zimbabwe is deeply saddened by the death of Chris, we will continue to cherish his support to our organization, the trainings in optometry that he offered to his colleagues in the health fraternity, the huge difference he made in the the eye health sector in Zimbabwe and the dedication to duty even during days that he was unwell. We shall miss his love for the vulnerable, and his colleagues. Chris had a permanent smile that kept everyone going in difficult working conditions. Refraction camps, Trainings, etc will no longer be the same in our programs in Midlands, Mashonaland Central Central, Harare and Manicaland without Chris, May his dear soul rest in peace.
To all the Kumora family, our heart is sore for you. Chris came to our wedding and was a wonderful, fun, lovable person, who we hold dear to our hearts. I’m sorry we could not have been there personally as we’re out of the country. Such a shock. Our love and condolences. RIP dear Chris.
My deepest condolences to the family of Chris

“Life is a fleeting moment, a whispered gentle breeze that caresses the soul. And like the wind, or struggles, our pain, and our fears will pass. For in the grand tapestry of existence, this too shall pass”.
Farewell dear friend Chris, whilst we may be hurting now, we rejoice that you are in a better place and may you rest in peace. Your legacy lives on, in us and those you loved. Prayers, thoughts and love to the Kumora, Changara, Nyamapfeni families

Thank you for letting those of us who are far away say goodbye, too. I first met Chris when I lived in Zimbabwe in 2006/2007. Chris, you have had a special place in my heart ever since. I cannot believe you are gone! It is as if I can still hear your voice. Without you in it, the world is a changed place.

Oh my days, it’s true. What fun we had Chris.
