Former finance minister and SA Reserve Bank (Sarb) governor Tito Mboweni has died. He was 65.

Mboweni’s family announced his passing on Saturday night.

“It is with deep sadness that the Mboweni Family announces the passing of Mboweni,” read the statement.

 
I'm genuinely shocked. What happened?
Tragic indeed, They are not saying, just say it was a short illness. I honestly feel bad, guy retired early unlike our politicians who hold on until the end, he looked like he was enjoying his simple life, he seemingly still had a couple of years to enjoy his retirement. But life had its own plans.
 
In 2017 he was the subject of a song by South African rapper Cassper Nyovest in which Tito Mboweni's name is included 75 times in the 4 minute song, with his name invoked to refer to the creation and ownership of money as his signature is included on the Rand note

 
That was unexpected. Like out of the blue. Still fairly young. Rip.
 
RIP ol' Tito.

I always had a laugh when you showed your cooking skills.
