Home | Mboweni understood the importance of unity in the ANC: Mahlobo African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee (NEC) member David Mahlobo has described the late former Finance Minister Tito Mboweni as a person who understood the importance of unity in the party. Mahlobo was speaking at a memorial service that the ANC organised at the Nkowankowa community hall outside Tzaneen in Limpopo yesterday. He says, “Comrade Tito was one leader who never divided the ANC, he was a true congress man.
Comrade Tito understood that you don’t join the revolution for yourself and you can’t be the first one to benefit like the current leaders, who are the first, every time it’s about them and comrade Tito understood that you can’t lead a divided nation.” Mboweni’s Special Official Funeral Category 2 will take place at the Nkowankowa Stadium tomorrow morning. He died last Saturday after a short illness at the age of 65.
The bereaved family’s spokesperson, Manias Mboweni, says they appreciate the ANC’s support and government’s decision to give their loved one a dignified funeral. He says, “Most of you who know him, you know that if you raise an issue to discuss you must know that you must be ready to win the case but I can never win I’m telling you. You wouldn’t win any case with him, all I have been saying is that he wants a dignified funeral service and we know the ANC is going to be able to do that, what he actually requested.
