Outspoken finance minister Tito Mboweni has opened up about working with and for presidents during his more than 25-year career in politics.
Mboweni took to his preferred medium, Twitter, at the weekend to share some of the biggest mistakes he has made while serving presidents, including the late Oliver Tambo while he was president of the ANC.
Recalling his biggest mistake, the minister said: “I got a harsh warning from his assistants. Never forgot that. When a president requests a speech, you work on that pronto.” In one of his tweets at the time, Mboweni said in a “proper democracy” there would be public debate that would lead to a referendum.
