On Saturday night, thieves allegedly took R19,000 from the bank account of Tito Mboweni, a former finance minister.
On Sunday, Mboweni reportedly verified this to Sowetan, claiming that the money was withdrawn from his check account but refused to specify which bank it was.

Mboweni claimed that the bank was looking into the situation and that there was no need to call the police. He said when asked if the money was taken all at once.
“Why are you interrogating me like this about my personal issues?”
“I believe I have provided you with sufficient information.”
“Somebody hacked into my cheque account and started taking money out. I noticed this around 7pm. My banking app informs me when there are transactions in my account. So there were transactions that had nothing to do with me,”
“This is a banking matter. It is being dealt with by the bank. The bank has its own fraud squad and they are dealing with that. Let’s leave the matter there,” said Mboweni.
