Mzansi is proposing that renowned rapper Cassper Nyovest should take the stage at the funeral service of former finance minister and Reserve Bank governor Tito Mboweni.
Calls for Cassper Nyovest to perform at Tito Mboweni’s funeral
In 2017, the rapper released his smash hit titled Tito Mboweni from his third studio album, Thuto.
The song topped the charts, with Cassper Nyovest flexing about wealth in the lyrics while paying tribute to the former governor of the South African Reserve Bank, whose signature was on banknotes in 1999.
Following Mboweni’s passing over the weekend, tributes and messages of condolences have been pouring in. X users are now suggesting that the Phumakim hitmaker should perform his funeral service.
X user @joy_zelda, posted a cover image of the rapper’s smash hit, Tito Mboweni and said “Cassper Nyovest should be allowed to perform at Tito Mboweni funeral. What a Tribute #RIPTitoMboweni.”

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.
