Sekoma was transferred to Katlehong SAPS in 2003, where he worked in the client service centre.
As he progressed in his policing profession, he steadily worked around the clock to bust crime while putting the interests of the community first, In 2006, he was promoted to the rank of colonel and joined the Alberton SAPS family in June 2015.
He retired on January 2019, after having worked well with his colleagues and the Alberton community.
