Stephen Mokaka cruised to victory in the Cape Town marathon on Sunday, winning the race with a new course record. He was the first South African to win the race since 2010.

But whole the Mokaka bossed it, the poor Cape Town marathon presenter had a bit of an oopsie. While trying to find runners to chat to as they finished the race…. he mistook a female athlete for a man…

Look, we know live TV is hard. And we’re certainly not perfect. We make typos all the time. But shame guys. We should be able to laugh at ourselves when we make mistakes.

Credit on him for keeping it totes cool and trying to recover the situation. Live TV is HARD, especially when there is loads going at the end of a marathon. So we promise, no judgies.  Just a little giggle.
