Beef or lamb? Tito Mboweni causes a stir in the kitchen

Briefly News previously reported on Tito Mboweni's beef stew, which to his surprise and ours, came out pretty well.

In his Twitter post he teases his followers by sharing photos of the meal underway as he patiently awaits during the cooking process.

SA users reacted to Mboweni’s critic-provoking posts questioning whether it was beef or or in fact lamb that he was cooking.
