MEC’s flamboyant outfit leaves social media speechless

Eastern Cape MEC for public works Pemmy Majodina caught the attention of many with the flamboyant pink outfit and not-to-missed hat she wore to the Eastern Cape premiere’s state of the province address this past week.

Images of Majodina’s outfit made their way to social media and they soon spread like wildfire.

While some merely commented on the flamboyance of the outfit, others used the image to lambaste Majodina for the state of infrastructure in the province.

You are a disgrace MEC. Public works? Makhanda doesn’t have water. Small towns don’t have infrastructure. Communities live in squalor. You should be ashamed of yourself. 🤮

Not everyone was against Majodina’s drip, however.

• Drip: an adjective to describe your outfit. Similar to the word swag.

I love MEC Pemmy Majodina's levels of #UnBothered

Majodina is no stranger to turning heads with her looks. In fact, a quick look through social media archives shows that she always brings that colourful flair to her fashions, no matter what the occasion.
