While Tito Mboweni is known for his culinary experiments, this time he made headlines for his fashion sense or lack thereof. The 65-year-old politician posted pictures of himself catching up with an old friend at Polokwane airport after their flight was delayed for several hours. The images showcased Mboweni wearing his signature worn-out brown shoes, an oversized blazer, untidy facial hair, and a cap adorned with a government logo, likely a freebie.
