ActionSA wishes to convey its condolences on the passing of Mr Tito Mboweni, former anti-apartheid fighter, Labour Minister, South African Reserve Bank Governor, and Finance Minister.
As someone who has actively taken part in events leading to the end of apartheid, the ushering of the democratic era and, in his own unique ways, in often pushing back even against the excesses of his own comrades in favour of reason, it is safe to say that Mr Mboweni has lived a full life of an activist for good. This is despite the relatively young age of his passing.
We express our most sincere condolences to Mr Mboweni’s immediate family and other loved ones, as well to his friends in the ANC and elsewhere who have always him in high esteem.
Our country needs more, not less, of voices like that of Mr Mboweni, that were able to rise to call for order even in noisy, crowded rooms where balanced reasoning seem to have no place.
Issued by ActionSA President Herman Mashaba
