“Know Before You Go”: Cousin Shares David Sejobe’s Funeral Details

• A family member shared funeral arrangements for the late Multichoice security guard, David Sejobe, in a public video
• The clip outlined burial times and cultural dress expectations in line with Limpopo traditions and culture
• Social media users online appreciated the guidance, particularly those unfamiliar with rural customs

Amid the grief, the family focused on clear communication and cultural respect, offering a gentle reminder that honouring a loved one also means honouring their traditions.

A cousin of the late David Sejobe, posted by @mugeefam on 5 February 2026, shared important funeral details ahead of his burial. The video explained that David will be laid to rest on Saturday, 7 February 2026, in Mukondeni Village, Ha-Mashamba, Limpopo, between 6 am and 10 am. The cousin clarified that the early timing is due to the burial taking place on communal land, where strict rules limit access after 10:30 am.

He also used the moment to educate visitors, especially those travelling from other provinces. Women are required to cover their heads and shoulders and wear long skirts below the knees, while men must wear long pants and cover their shoulders. The video aimed to prevent discomfort and disrespect for those unfamiliar with local customs.
