Waitressing woes

Mampho goes from being the Fed-up Waitress who detested every part of her job to getting two jobs waved in her face.

When Mampho (Itumeleng Bokaba) recently quit her radio presenting job at 9-Nine FM, she thought that she’d walk into another radio station, leave her CV at the reception and get a call the next day with a tempting job offer. But her plans didn’t go as well as she expected. Not a lot of radio stations are hiring, and because she has bills to pay, she settled for a waitressing job at The Metropol – which has done nothing but cause anxiety and sleepless nights. “Initially, Mampho didn’t like working there at all,” says Itumeleng. “She hated running around in a potentially suggestive uniform while taking orders from rude customers,” adds the actress.
