TITO MBOWENI CLOSES OFF THE YEAR BY COOKING MOPANI WORMS

The South African politician from Tzaneen is no stranger in the kitchen. He has been enticing his followers with his interesting recipes for quite some time on his social media. While some people encourage him to continue cooking, others just don’t understand why the former finance minister keeps posting such content online.

As one of his last meals of the year 2022, Mboweni prepared himself a plate of mopani worms served with a dish of pap.

According to TFPD, Mopani worms are brightly coloured caterpillars with little spikes on them. They feed off mopani tree leaves, hence the English name (Mopani worms). They have been a great source of nutrition for many generations around Limpopo, Zimbabwe and other surrounding countries.

The dish could be delicious to eat when prepared correctly.

In sharing the finished product of his cooked mopani worms and pap, Mboweni captioned,

“Protein concentrate. Great stuff!!”

Many of Mboweni’s Twitter followers were impressed to see that the Minister was promoting one of Mzansi’s cultural cuisines. Other online users were taken aback by how cold the pap looked in the pictured that he shared, and also shocked at the excessive amount of garlic cloves Mboweni used to prepare the dish.
