Tito Mboweni is remembered for his strong principles, personal warmth and social media cooking posts.
The first black central bank governor of South Africa, who later went on to become finance minister, has died at the age of 65.
Mbwoeni's family said they were "devastated" and that he had died in a hospital in Johannesburg "surrounded by his loved ones". He returned to South Africa in 1990, then served as the first labour minister under President Nelson Mandela, playing a key role in shaping post-apartheid labour laws.
