TITO MBOWENI: LAST WISH
The former finance minister, Tito Mboweni’s old tweet reveals his wishes when he could no longer breathe.
In the tweet, Mboweni shares a conversation with his son where he expresses contentment with his life’s achievements.
“My son saw my earlier tweet, and he asked: ‘What else do you want to do?’” reads the tweet.
“Nothing. I have done everything a reasonable human being would have wanted to achieve in life. Just give me a decent burial when my time comes to go. He said, ‘you are going nowhere’. That’s nice from him,” he wrote.
