Part Alan Greenspan, part Martha Stewart—the finance minister who's also famous for his cooking.

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.

I’ve never thought of tweeting what I cook. So here is what I cooked yesterday. I call it botanas. “Tex-Mex food. Friend corn tortillas, refried beads (no fat, organic), cheese, and Picante sauce. Yum. 😋

Even so, he is more useful than India's Rahul Gandhi or Pakistan's Imran Khan.

The Kitchen cabinet makes a comeback.

Yea poor guy looks like he needs a meal. In the 1960 my mom would always say Eat. There are starving people in Africa It’s 2019 and people are still starving. But not the Finance Minister

Nothing is important than food :)

Stop killing white farmers

Julius_S_Malema , surely,is this a government minister or a chef?

Is G7 a feast or an economic emergency?

Meat can fix the economy?

Fix the corruption as a starter

He's great at gastroeconomics, real economics not so much because of the company he keeps 😁

Looks like that’s all he does.

most useless country in Africa

Cant someone enjoy tweeting after a day of hardwork, let tito_mboweni enjoy his cooking recipes,

heeheheehhe

I don’t know this guy but, maybe they should stop killing there farmers.

I don't often comment on stupidity but this is nonsense. The man enjoys cooking during his time off. Give him a break and stop this trashy journalism. I expect more from a publication like yours.

When the EFF wins a majority, we're going to send him to cooking school.

CoruscaKhaya I think he is brilliant and oh so allowed to lighten up a somewhat boring politicial landscape....

Has that pot plant died yet?

Maybe he wants to fix by the economy by getting advertisers for his tweets and giving the proceeds to the government.

CoruscaKhaya Ohh Wow 😂😂😂

Stop lying and spreading fake news. Our honorable minister tito_mboweni has not tweeted since early July. We South Africans DO NOT complain about him sharing a few food photos with us, we actually miss him. Get your facts straight and perhaps concentrate on the mad man in the WH

😄

Bruh the man can't even cook his own meal without haters complaining smh

More people like him please! Let's make the world a happier place, not a bunch of angry ASSHOLES like Donald Trump!
