Using his Twitter account, finance minister Tito Mboweni has proved he is more than a numbers man. He is also an amazing cook, in the making.

The minister has been sharing his favourite dishes, and while some were here for it, others did not spare him criticism.

Whether or not he will continue to share his meals on social media after his reappointment as minister of the public's purse remains to be seen.
