“He Still Unites People”: E-Hailing Drivers Honouring David Sejobe Moves South Africans

• Many e-hailing drivers got together to pay their respects to the late security guard, David Sejobe, a man who always brought positivity
• The drivers came in their yellow vehicles and hooted in celebration as large crowds cheered
• Online users who watched the touching video pointed out how loved David was, even by strangers

South Africans are continuing to honour the late David Sejobe, a beloved security guard stationed outside MultiChoice's Randburg head office, who was fatally struck by a car while cycling to work. E-hailing drivers were the latest to bid David farewell.

On 3 February 2026, TikTok user @lerato_kp uploaded a video of several Bolt drivers in their Bajaj Qutes (a yellow vehicle legally classified as a quadricycle that launched in parts of Johannesburg in 2023). The drivers hooted as they drove down a road filled with crowds on either side.

@lerato_kp captioned the post:

"The bolt drivers came and paid their respects, too. There's a lady who said David was an angel amongst us, and indeed he was."

"This wasn't planned. It's just real, genuine love and support. Anyone who wanted to honour him came and joined the crowd. That's the type of man David was. Even in death, he still unites people in cheerful praise, and that's what we owed him and more."
