Swift 3

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
            let headerView = UIView()
            headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGray

            let headerLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 30, y: 0, width:
                tableView.bounds.size.width, height: tableView.bounds.size.height))
            headerLabel.font = UIFont(name: "Verdana", size: 20)
            headerLabel.textColor = UIColor.white
            headerLabel.text = self.tableView(self.tableView, titleForHeaderInSection: section)
            headerLabel.sizeToFit()
            headerView.addSubview(headerLabel)

            return headerView
        }

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
        return 40
    }
