To you, Seelan, my dear friend. May the Lord grant you the peace that you so deeply desired. Your passing has left lasting memories not only with your beloved family but also with us, the Naidu family of Satara Road, Merebank. Rest in peace, my dear friend. Your association with the Naidu family spans over 55 years. The photograph attached brings back cherished memories of the first trip you shared with our family to Johannesburg. I remember clearly the first day I met you in my classroom, which I shared with your late elder brother, Kessie. We were in the same class, and you were in the junior class at the time. You walked into our classroom during lunch break while Kessie and I were talking. Although we had never met before, you spoke to me as though we had known each other for years. Not knowing who you were, I asked Kessie, and he proudly replied, “That is my brother.” From that moment onward, we became inseparable. You grew to become not just a friend but a true member of our family, spending much of your time in our home. Even your move to Cape Town and later to London did not weaken our bond. Just a few days before your passing, you called me—as you did almost every day—to tell me you were having difficulty breathing and were going to the hospital. I assumed it was one of your routine visits and did not imagine that this time would be different. You often asked when I would visit London and always promised to show me around, proudly saying that you knew the city like the back of your hand. Recently, you warmly welcomed my daughter, Krisantha, and my son-in-law, Adrian. They spoke fondly of the wonderful time they spent with you and of your kindness and hospitality. May God bless you, my dear friend. Rest in eternal peace. Roy Naidu Durban

Your close neighbours on Consort Road will miss you. So generous and always made me laugh. Always a knock on the door to share food,toys for my young boy and even the odd bottle of Gin. Always invited into his home if he was in his garden. Going to miss you....Rest in peace

Rest in peace, Uncle Seelan. You will be deeply missed. Thank you for the love and generosity you showed us — your unwavering commitment to friendship with my dad, no matter the distance, will always be remembered. I’m truly going to miss our phone calls.
