Sedibeng District Municipality Mayor Simon Mofokeng.
On Saturday night at the Sharpeville Hall, a man serving drinks to guests at a VIP table accidentally spilled glasses of juice onto Sedibeng Mayor Simon Mofokeng’s jacket. It appears that the waiter lost his footing as he made his way past the table.
At the time, Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane, Emfuleni Acting Mayor Sello Pitso and the Public Protector Thulisile Madonsela were seated next to Mofokeng, who had to be rushed to his Vanderbijlpark home to change.
Upon his return, Mofokeng made an announcement that the waiter should not worry. “Problems occur when the situation is conducive for them to be solved,” says Mofokeng, who assured guests and the waiter that he understands that the spillage was an accident.
