JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's former finance and labour minister and first Black central bank governor Tito Mboweni has died aged 65 following a brief illness, the presidency said late on Saturday.
Mboweni was an anti-apartheid activist as a student who later became democratic South Africa's first labour minister from 1994 to 1999 under former President Nelson Mandela.
