Tito Mboweni might just have the coolest and most impressive personal profile. His signature used to be on our banknotes when he was still the governor of the Reserve Bank and his name is the title of a song by one of the biggest rappers in the country. But did you know that the recently-appointed finance minister is also quite the social media foodie? Here’s a list of some of the restaurants he’s visited in SA (plus what he thought of them!).
