Solid guy. I've met him and had a one on one sit down chat with him. A brilliant mind and he was pragmatic but he knew the revolutionary faction would never agree with his pragmatism. And he had great respect for Afrikaners:

At a breakfast in Johannesburg last week, reported in the Financial Mail, Mboweni said: "I have sought to recruit many competent black people, and no sooner have we trained them than they leave. I get so upset! I am stopping this recruitment of black people. I am okay with my Afrikaners. They stay and do the work."

Yeah that was 18 years ago
 
Was part of a criminal organization that has ruined a once prosperous country. Same as Gordhan. Hope it's hot in hell.
