A two-day tournament, held at Watershed College and sponsored by Select Health Care, celebrated Manjoro's legacy. He spent decades mentoring young players and promoting the sport throughout the region, establishing tennis as a popular sporting discipline in Mashonaland East. Mr. Biggie Magarira of Select Health Care praised Manjoro's passion for tennis, calling him "a true unifier in sport." Manjoro's daughter, Rufaro Manjoro, a well-known tennis player based in France, was also celebrated during the tournament. Also in attendance was Mr. Raymond Charewa, the Secretary General for the Tennis Board in Mashonaland East, who promised to continue organizing similar events to keep Manjoro's legacy alive. Mrs. Silvia Manjoro, the wife of the late Manjoro, expressed her gratitude to the tennis community for honoring her late husband's memory, saying it was a fitting tribute to his contributions to the sport. This event also celebrated Zimbabwe's rich tennis history, including the achievements of Byron Black, who became the world's number one ranked doubles player in 1994 and won the French Open that same year. Black represented Zimbabwe in the Davis Cup alongside his brother Wayne, and his sister Cara won several titles in doubles and mixed doubles competitions.
