THE President of the Republic of Namibia, H.E. Dr. Nangolo Mbumba, has learned with deep sadness about the passing of Mr Tito Titus Mboweni, former Minister of Labour, Finance and First Black Governor of the South African Reserve Bank on the 12th of October 2024.
In his message of condolences, President Nangolo Mbumba says:
“The passing of Comrade Tito Titus Mboweni is profoundly saddening for the people of South Africa and Africa at large. He exemplified African excellence, having served as the first black Governor of the South African Reserve Bank in a post-Apartheid and free South Africa. As a distinguished policymaker and expert in the field of finance and economics, Comrade Tito Mboweni meaningfully contributed to the economic development and advancement of South Africa during his tenures as Minister, Central Banker and in the private sector. His was a life lived in exemplary service to the people of South Africa and the region from the days of his activism as an ANC cadre fighting for the end of apartheid. As we mourn the loss of a comrade and dedicated leader, I extend my sincere condolences to my dear brother, President Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa, the bereaved Mboweni family and the fraternal people of South Africa.
May the soul of Comrade Tito Mboweni rest in eternal peace.”
