GOOD Statement by Patricia De Lille
GOOD Leader
13 October 2024
The GOOD party extends our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Tito
Mboweni, as well as his political home the African National Congress. The country has lost a great inspirational leader.
The former Minister of finance and Governor of the South African Reserve Bank passed away at the age of 65.
Under Mboweni’s leadership, the nation’s budget largely succeeded in navigating the very fine line between bare economic survival and the fiscal cliff.
He navigated the country’s finances during the Covid-19 pandemic, making provisions for the much-needed vaccination drive and the Social Relief of Distress Grant.
His leadership as Minister of Labour during the transition out of apartheid formed the foundation of the labour laws that benefit so many today.
As South Africans, we are grateful for his service. His commitment to the country will never be forgotten.
May his aloe ferox plant live on and his soul rest in peace.
