The veteran politician, who had an illustrious political career, passed away on Saturday at the age of 65 following a brief illness.
Mboweni was the first minister of labour in democratic South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and later served as the governor of the South African Reserve Bank for a decade starting in 1999.
President Cyril Ramaphosa paid tribute to him, commending his exceptional leadership abilities.
“We have lost a leader and compatriot who has served our nation as an activist, economic policy innovator and champion of labour rights.
“As Governor and Finance Minister, he had a sharp focus on fiscal discipline and economic transformation.
“Tito Mboweni distinguished himself in different strategic roles in the private sector and was a flag bearer in global forums for our economy and developing economies more broadly,” said Ramaphosa.
