Mayor’s minor mistake

Gaborone Mayor

The newly elected Mayor of Gaborone had an embarrassing moment this week when he was denied entry to the VIP section during one of the Mascom Top 8 matches.

Father Maphongo, or should I say the honorable, was told in no uncertain term that he wasn’t allowed VIP access because of his casual footwear.

I must admit I initially thought the over zealous security personnel had not recognized the Mayor.

Fortunately the main man’s blushes were spared as a kind hearted Samaritan lent him a smarter pair of shoes and Maphongo was allowed in!

Welcome to the big city, Mr Mayor, where you’ve got to dress to impress!
