Tito Mboweni, former Finance Minister, has been dubbed the “minister of cooking” for his passion of sharing recipes and demonstrating his culinary skills on Twitter since 2019.
Getting his haircut at famed barbershop Legends Barber, which has resulted in meme-worthy photos. Following the death of the minister of cookery, South Africans have a number of nice recollections of him.
Mboweni passed away on Saturday night following a brief illness, according to his family statement. He was 65.
Mboweni’s Twitter messages throughout the years boasting of his gastronomic ‘prowess’ have resulted in tears of laughter, with the former finance minister being the target of jokes.
Mboweni was known in political circles for his dedication and selfless service sacrifice for South Africans, but he was also known on social media for his love of cooking.

Even his poor cooking talents, such as his ability to slice tomatoes, onions, and garlic, perplexed many people. Mboweni in the kitchen had some hits and misses, but he was usually successful in getting people to engage with his content.
His dishes may not have always been appetizing to many people, but they sparked conversation. He uses a lot of garlic in his food and doesn’t slice his vegetables finely enough. When preparing a dinner, his favourite components are onions, red and yellow peppers, carrots, curry powder, and excessive amounts of garlic. Like a lot of garlic.
People were talking about Mboweni’s Twitter presence, which showed a kinder side of the politician. His fondness for Clarks shoes – he never switches brands since you should stick with what works for you.
