"This is a Real Man": Seek Security CEO Urges Men to Provide Safety in Kempton Park After Murders

• A security company CEO rallied men and celebrities to take to Kempton Park streets following a string of violent murders targeting women
• The CEO of Seek called on other security companies and influencers to dedicate their resources to the anti-GBV convoy
• South Africans online were moved by the show of solidarity, questioning whether the effort was free or driven by profit

A security company CEO took to the streets of Kempton Park on 18 September 2026. He called on men across South Africa to stand up against gender-based violence following a series of fatal attacks on women in the area.

The man behind the rallying cry is the CEO of Seek Security. Filming from a roadside with a line of branded security vehicles behind him, he addressed his followers directly, urging them to stop tolerating violence in their communities. "We here in Kempton Park, we are busy taking this area back street for street," he said. "We are not gonna let this anymore. We not gonna tolerate this anymore."

The CEO of Seek did not stop at his own company. He challenged every other security firm in South Africa to put boots and vehicles on the ground, and called out celebrities to show up in person rather than just online. He pointed to a well-known South African influencer called The Rush, who joined the convoy in person.

"He's taking his time out where he could be making money influencing people. He's got his boots on. We on the ground, guys."

The convoy drove through Kempton Park, with the CEO encouraging anyone who spotted the procession to hoot and fall in behind it. He also urged women in the area to feel safe and assured them that the group was there on the ground. "Kempton Park ladies, I'm encouraging you, feel safe. You are protected," he said.
