The South African Accounting body, SAICA, said :

SAICA notes with shock and sadness the passing of Professor Mohammed Saber Tayob.

He was a valued CA(SA) ambassador and was instrumental in seeing that the University of Limpopo receive SAICA accreditation for its BCom under- and post-graduate degrees in order to provide access to the chartered accountancy route to previously disadvantaged individuals in the province.

He contributed greatly to the development of prospective chartered accountants and we will miss him dearly.
