Sejobe, a widely admired front-of-house security officer, was killed after being struck by a vehicle while cycling to work from Orange Farm in Johannesburg. The gathering marked the last stop of his journey before his body was transported to Venda in Limpopo, where he will be laid to rest.

The farewell reflected the extraordinary impact Sejobe had far beyond his uniform. For nearly a decade, he stood at the gates of Multichoice, welcoming staff and visitors with animated gestures and an infectious smile that turned routine mornings into moments of joy. His dedication and cheerful spirit earned him national admiration.

A farewell worthy of a man who inspired thousands

Despite living with diabetes, Sejobe chose to cycle nearly 170 kilometres daily from Orange Farm to Randburg, turning his commute into a mission of health, discipline, and inspiration. His dedication saw him complete long-distance charity rides, including a 600km journey undertaken in honour of his late father.

Motorists along Bram Fischer Drive often came to expect his energetic waves, spontaneous dance moves, and cheerful salutes, many hooting in return as part of a shared ritual that made mornings brighter.

A Facebook video shared by Tzaneen Voice shortly after his arrival shows the hearse arriving at Multichoice, voices raising in songs and a guard of honour formed, capturing the affection held for Sejobe.
