TZANEEN - Former finance minister Tito Mboweni's friends and family have called on South Africans to follow in his footsteps.
The 65-year-old was remembered in a category two special official funeral in Limpopo on Saturday.
He died a week ago following a short illness.
Mboweni’s friends and family, as well as the political and business fraternity, gathered in the province to bid farewell to the former finance minister and South African Reserve Bank (SARB) governor.
Former CEO of Goldman Sachs for Sub-Saharan Africa Colin Coleman delivered a tribute at Mboweni’s funeral.
He said Mboweni’s honesty, humility, and good governance should be a template for South Africans.
"Sharply in focus is a universally acclaimed and loved person who embodied the spirit of non-racialism and social democracy – a spirit South Africa now desperately needs to rediscover and embrace once again to honour his memory."
