Tito Mboweni’s tombstone erected at the Bodweni Cemetary in Limpopo
Tito Mboweni’s tombstone sparked conversation on social media as people praised the simplicity of the design.
The former Minister of Finance and first black Reserve Bank Governor was buried in a state funeral on Saturday, 19 October, in Tzaneen, Limpopo.
He was laid to rest at the Mboweni family cemetery at Bhodweni Village in Limpopo.
A photo of the tombstone went viral as it depicted Mboweni’s lifestyle when he was alive.
“I was expecting a dramatic white tombstone, currency note with his signature, and a parliament building,” a Twitter user wrote.
Another user wrote, “Really.. this tomb looks like its on the cheap side!”
“Glad they captured his real lifestyle , he didn’t like flashy and showing off,” a comment read.
Not too flashy just a decent tombstone, it definitely personifies who he was.
