Summary
Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi attended the World Cup opener in Mexico on his own time, rejecting government hospitality despite an official invitation tied to Gauteng’s economic clout. The provincial government swiftly clarified taxpayers aren’t footing the bill — Lesufi used no public resources, attending purely privately. Meanwhile, Health MEC Faith Mazibuko steps in as Acting Premier, assuring uninterrupted services. This move underscores transparency as officials balance public duties with personal choices.
