Lerato Makgatho, the self-proclaimed “slay queen” who previously discussed being involved in a “love triangle” with Tito Mboweni, has shared her thoughts following his passing.
The influencer and podcaster – who also appeared on reality TV shows – revealed that she dated the former Minister of Finance a decade ago. However, she claims she dumped him because “he was not a freak in bed.”
Tito – who passed after a short illness – leaves behind three children.
TITO MBOWENI DIES
According to his brother Alto, Tito Mboweni died in a hospital in Johannesburg on Saturday night, surrounded by his loved ones.
The family – who will announce funeral details in the coming days – have not disclosed his cause of death.
Tito – who was known for his frumpy fashion and culinary concoctions – last tweeted on 1 October. In recent months, he had spent time travelling to countries like Ghana, Rwanda, and Malaysia.
SLAY QUEEN EX SPEAKS OUT
Meanwhile, South Africans are wondering who Tito Mboweni has left behind.
According to IOL, Tito – from Tzaneen – does not have a wife, but does have three children.
One of them is Tumelo Mboweni, who, like his father, also studied at the University of Lesotho. Another is Amos, who works as a Real Estate Manager for Eskom.
In 2019, Sunday World reported slay queen Lerato Habiba Makgatho’s claims that she was in a “love triangle” with Tito Mboweni (then Minister of Finance) and Minister of Mineral Resources Gwede Mantashe.
According to the woman, she broke up with Tito because he could not satisfy her financially or sexually.
She told the publication: “He [Mantashe] gave me between R10k and R15k, and Mboweni will only give me R3k once in a long time”.
She added that Tito Mboweni was “not a freak in bed because he wanted us to switch off the lights and cover ourselves, but Mantashe was a tiger in bed. He even lasted long.”
However, in a follow-up, Lerato backtracked, praising Tito’s bedroom skills.
Following his death, Lerato shared in a Facebook post: “RIP Tito Mboweni. May we find strength during these difficult times.”
