Since his appointment to Cabinet as Finance Minister by President Cyril Ramaphosa in October 2018, Tito Mboweni has not been a man afraid to upset the applecart within his party.

Many of Mboweni's assertions, particularly on economic turnaround strategies, have left him on a collision course with the ANC's Tripartite Alliance partners, Cosatu and the SACP, and some sections within the party.

Cosatu general secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali did not take kindly to Mboweni's assertion and called on the ANC to rein in those ministers who did not toe the party line. "It is our view that Comrade Tito should act with care and be cautious at all times on matters of policy given his position as the Minister of Finance, including subjecting himself to the overall Communications Protocols of the ANC."
