Former Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni was on the campaign trail in Limpopo and he is pleased there were young kids who joined him. The Limpopo-born politician was busy canvassing for votes for the African National Congress ahead of the local government election scheduled to be held on Monday.

“Sha Sha! Young lions!! With the youth. They started chanting: Tito Mboweni Sha Sha!! These young Turks! Roar, young lions, Roar!!”

“I now personally think this is so wrong, at their age. Why not make campaigning or being a minister a subject taught at school. At this day and age, we should really be concerned.”

Tito Mboweni’s throwback snap in London angers Mzansi: “Colonial agents”
In a recent article on Mboweni, Briefly News posted that former finance minister Tito Mboweni shared a throwback snap of himself online and South Africans are calling him out.
Mboweni stated that the image was taken in 1985 in London but Saffas seem to have a lot of questions. Many peeps are asking why Mboweni was living a 'life of luxury' in London while others were suffering under the Apartheid regime back in SA.
Tweeps want to know if Mboweni really was a freedom fighter for the country.
What Mboweni may have thought would be an innocent post about his youth was quickly turned into a debate on Twitter.
