'Can you please revive the economy?' South Africans wish their finance minister spent more time at work and less time in the kitchen tweeting favorite recipes.

JOHANNESBURG—South Africa’s finance minister stirs controversy, especially in the kitchen.

Tito Mboweni, a former central-bank governor, came out of retirement last year to help resolve the country’s simmering economic crisis. Off-hours, the rotund 60-year-old shares his cooking secrets with more than 440,000 Twitter followers, whipping up feeds that are part Martha Stewart, part Alan Greenspan.

LucidualLady What rubbish is this? Our finance minister, Tito Mboweni, tweeted himself cooking meals a handful of times months ago. This is just the image this racist American rag wants to portray of black people and Africa in general.

The best chef🤦‍♀️

Not so. They just want a FM who doesn't actively fck up the economy.
