Cape Town – Former finance minister Tito Mboweni took to Twitter this week and shared advice that his successor Enoch Godongwana once imparted to him.
“Minister Godongwana always says to me when I am angry about something: don’t swim in the mud with pigs! You won’t win! In Lesotho, I learnt that: don’t argue with a fool because people won’t notice the difference!! Hey Presto,” wrote Mboweni.
