• The former Minister of Finance reflected nostalgically on the complete change in his routine since vacating from the ministerial finance position

Tito Mboweni, Mzansi's favourite social media-inclined politician and the recent former Minister of Finance, has caused his latest stir on Twitter.

This time, it's not over a cook-off in his kitchen with Lucky Star tinned fish on hand, but on what life has been like since his decision to quit the ministerial role.

The cuisine-lover was sworn in as Minister of Finance on 9 October 2018, following Nhlanhla Nene's resignation, until his own decision to step down from the ministerial position on 5 August 2021.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that he had accepted Mboweni's request to resign amid a cabinet reshuffle that saw a number of sweeping changes being made.

Taking to his official account one day ago, the pseudo-chef penned a message that sparked a flood of colourful reactions from South Africans. He wrote:

"Feels very strange to notice that my weekly appointments have been cancelled. They were work-related. So they had to be cancelled. Feels odd but it is the reality. At least I can feed the chickens and lambs for now."

A stream of hilarious reactions followed as Mzansi social media users took digs at Mboweni's nostalgic message. The tweet was liked more than 5 000 times and attracted nearly 700 comments.
