South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is considering Tito Mboweni, a former central bank governor, for the post of finance minister as pressure grows on him to oust Nhlanhla Nene, two people familiar with the situation said.
Nene last week told an anti-graft commission that he met members of the Gupta family, who have been implicated in a corruption scandal with former president Jacob Zuma, six times at their residence after earlier saying he had only met them on social occasions. The people declined to be identified because the information has not been made public.
