Tito Mboweni will be digging deep into his pockets to afford his favourite meal – tinned pilchards.
The former Minister of Finance has a fondness for the fishy dish, which he regularly prepares to the amusement of his Twitter followers.
But Tito and very few others will be able to prepare the SA staple dish if the recent prices are anything to go by…

In a tweet that gave South Africans chest pains, a Twitter user tweeted a picture of the price of tinned pilchards – R26,99 for a 400g can.
In recent months, the canned has seen a spike in its price.

@SithaleKgaogelo: “We used to think Tin fish was for the poor because it was cheapest.”

@clique_rsa: “That’s double how much it used to cost two years back”
@MaMpongo20: “R27? Bathong!”

PRINGLES ARE A LUXURY TOO
It’s not just tinned pilchards that have had SA consumers hyperventilating at the grocery stores. On Twitter, the price of Pringles has been a bitter pill to swallow.
One tweep – who posted a pic of dozens of cans priced at the “value” cost of R39,99, had South African consumers riled up.
