The power of collective action has come to the fore in the search for the driver who claimed the life of David Sejobe. On February 5, 2026, reports emerged that the car allegedly linked to the incident has been found, just days after social media users began tracking a suspicious vehicle in the Gauteng area.
The Incident
On Saturday, David Sejobe was cycling to his shift at the MultiChoice offices along the Golden Highway in Orange Farm when he was struck by a vehicle. The driver failed to stop, leaving the father of three with fatal injuries.
From a Billboard to a Grey Volvo
David was more than just a security guard; he was a celebrated figure whose face famously appeared on a billboard near his workplace in Randburg. His death sparked an immediate and intense online mobilization:
- The Suspicious Vehicle: Community members flagged a grey Volvo spotted near a church in Vlakfontein. Witnesses reported visible tire damage to the car before it was driven away.
- The Discovery: Recent updates circulating online suggest the vehicle has been recovered.
- Official Status: As of now, the South African Police Service (SAPS) has acknowledged the discovery of a vehicle but has yet to confirm whether any arrests have been made or if the owner has been questioned.
A Legacy of Kindness
The outpouring of grief reflects the warmth David brought to his role at MultiChoice. Known for his cheerful greetings and “front-of-house” hospitality, he was a pillar of the Randburg office community.
- Crowdfunding Success: A fund established to support his three children has already surpassed R500,000, highlighting the public’s desire to support the family he left behind.
- Memorial Tributes: Colleagues and strangers alike have held vigils outside the MultiChoice offices, leaving flowers and messages in his honor.
