Organisers said the money will be used for Sejobe’s funeral and memorial service expenses.

The campaign initially set a goal of R20 000 and has since massively exceeded that target. “Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden on his loved ones and is deeply appreciated,” the campaign message read. Organisers confirmed that all proceeds will go directly to Sejobe’s family.

“This campaign has been established in loving memory of David Sejobe to provide direct financial support to Mrs Sejobe and her children, who are the sole identified beneficiaries of this fund. “All proceeds raised through this campaign will be paid directly to Mrs Sejobe and used for the care, wellbeing and the future needs of the immediate Sejobe family,” reads the statement on the campaign. Sejobe, 49, passed away on Friday, 30 January, after being hit by a vehicle while cycling to work. Colleagues described him as a kind and helpful person.
