At some point, Mboweni wanted to quit Treasury - Mbeki

[@mightyginza3182]

What a gracious and sharp (without imposing herself) journalist...! I'm a proud South African to be listening to this rich interview and thank you President Thabo Mbeki for this insight into the late Tito Mboweni. May his Beautiful Soul forever Rest in Peace 🌹

[@BushSoles]

Great interview... the interviewer @ZiyandaNgcobo is on the ball and skilled to be able to engage, draw Mbeki's perspective on issues and reflections on current career Ministers. I enjoyed this interview as the journalist is knowledgeable and can drive conversation

[@kgwadimoloto3831]

I really miss the South Africa of Mbeki as president, Tito as Governor, Trevor as finance minister, we had a growing economy and there was accountability, era of Scorpions etc. We had leadership, countries like Spain are still recovering today from th 2008 global financial crisis. SA was one of the few countries that responded better to the crises.

[@tracywolff8764]

I totally agree, South Africa was a peaceful Country under their Governance! 🩷

[@nkosinathikuleta6138]

Well said President Mbeki Good questions from the journalist keep it up lady you not scared to ask. Rip Tito Mboweni 😭😭❤️❤️

[@zwelimkosana9091]

Cde Thabo Mvunyelwa Mbeki one of the best President this country has produced. He is a humanbeing just like all of us as we not perfect he made his fair chance of mistakes just like all of us because he is a humanbeing. In as much as we passionate to highlight his wrong deeds we must also recognise his good deeds which I think they more than those wrong ones. In that 2008 the whole globe was on economic meltdown but one of those huge car brands from Germany came in invest in South Africa because of the sound economic policies by President Thabo Mbeki. BMW open a plant in Roseline in Pretoria and created lot of decent jobs.

[@zwelimkosana9091]

@@darlingtonmachilar6745 what are you doing about it? Let's stop being armchair critics let's get out of our phones and PC's and mobilise each other as black people if we serious about the land issue. It's 2024 we keep on blaming other people instead of doing something about it. The land issue is our second revolution and let me tell it will be the most difficulty one to engage on as there will be a serious resistance from those who stole our land. Its not gonna be easy so prepare yourselves now and you will only win it when you get out of the phones and PC's. The only way to do it is to get on the streets mobiles, organise and politicise the people who want their land back. Remember government is not those who are in Parliament but us the people of this country. We are not yet serious about the land issue.

Thabo Mbeki’s premature removal as president of SA by negative forces within the ANC has cost the country dearly. These forces gave us Zuma and they are currently behind Lesufi.

Agreed 💯, and yet there are those that still believe Zuma was the best, Zuma was very destructive and corrupt. He dismantled the Scorpions, corruption was rampant under his leadership.

He was the best governor we ever had! His biggest moment/accomplishment in my view was when he protected us from the 2008 financial crash fiasco by not being sold on the idea of CDO's. This was only possible because he swam against the grain, he never succumbed to external pressure/forces. He always applied his mind and did not follow the crowd.

A Honorable and no State Captured Human with Sincere Integrity ! May his Soul RIP ! This is a Loss !

[@loyisomalobola687]

I know this is outside the point, just thought I should point something out quickly. A State can't be captured & I'm sure many a political science student would agree with me. What happens is there's two terms that are used interchangeably, the State & government. Now I'm guessing State Capture alludes to the capture of government, there's a problem here again because there's three arms of government - the executive, legislature & judiciary. We can say for a fact the judiciary wasn't captured & because the ANC only constituted a portion of the legislature, no matter how significant, with a quite vibrant opposition - that at best there may have been a substantial capture of the legislature. Now we're left with the executive & here it is clear the Guptas had a significant control over the then president president, Jacob Zuma. So we might say, the Guptas had an undue & quite problematic, maybe even criminal, influence over the executive arm of government - but as bad as that was, that's not State Capture. Now ask yourself why the propaganda drive to establish this narrative of State Capture, a term no academic here in South Africa & abroad takes seriously?

No true. Let us not rewrite history. When he left the SARB and he had no protectors, he threw a huge tantrum at OR Tambo. He was bitter in last days as SARB governor, there is a famous clip of him giving it to some German SARS shareholder. It it terrible when folks rewrite history when people pass away. I think in this case people use his tweets in the last few years to claim "he was humble". Please! We know these politicians and in this particular case I saw him regularly at a hotel in Parktown 2010 (having dinner there), humble is not one of his attributes. Even when when de Ruyter was appointed at Eskom, it was pointed out that his records was terrible at Nampak, in fact Nampak share price tumbled and their debt sky rocketed, Mboweni defended de Ruyter having served in a board with him. And we all know 2022 and 2023 were the worst years in terms of loadshedding and Nampak had a massive rights issue in 2023 to save them from de Ruyter's disastrous years. Death is sad but we must not rewrite history, please!
