South Africans are honouring the late Tito Mboweni in the best way possible – by making one of his favourite dish, tinned fish!

The former Minister of Finance and Reserve Bank Governor was known for his quirky cuisine, which included plenty of pilchards.

According to a family statement, the 65-year-old died on Saturday after a short illness. An announcement of his funeral details will be made in the coming days.
