The clip then cuts to his wife and daughter, who describe him as a loving father who played with his children and built strong bonds with them despite his exhausting daily schedule.

The footage reveals how Sejobe began cycling in 1985 after his brother returned home with a blue BMX, igniting a lifelong passion that would shape his identity. Over the years, cycling transformed his health, helping him overcome asthma and diabetes, conditions that once threatened his life.

Sejobe proudly displayed medals he earned through cycling competitions, including gold, silver, and bronze, each symbolising years of perseverance and physical endurance. His connection to his bicycle ran so deep that he was filmed kissing it and laughing, declaring that life without cycling was unimaginable.

A daily journey of sacrifice

Every day before sunrise, Sejobe mounted his bicycle and pedalled 86km to Randburg, braving cold mornings, traffic, exhaustion, and long working hours. For him, the journey was never just about getting to work, but about purpose and health.
