Over R280,000 Raised to Honour Security Guard David Sejobe
Story 2
South Africans have raised over R280,000 in just 48 hours to honour David Sejobe, a beloved security guard at MultiChoice in Randburg, who tragically passed away earlier this week.
Colleagues, neighbours, and commuters remember David for his daily greetings, joyful energy, and warm personality that brightened everyone’s day. A flower memorial has been created outside the MultiChoice offices, and messages of love and remembrance continue to pour in from across the country.
The funds will go toward funeral and memorial costs, and immediate support for his family. David’s impact, as one person said, is “no status, no title, just an incredible human who made a real difference every day.”
