Mourners gathered to pay their respects to former Reserve Bank governor Tito Mboweni were touched by a thoughtful gesture from Lucky Star, the renowned canned fish company. As a tribute to Mboweni’s love for their pilchards, Lucky Star provided cans of their iconic product, leaving a lasting impression on those in attendance.
This poignant tribute was a testament to Mboweni’s affection for Lucky Star Pilchards, which he openly shared with the public. His enthusiasm earned him the title of unofficial brand ambassador, endearing him to the company and its fans alike.
On social media, attendees expressed their gratitude and surprise, with one Twitter user posting, “We found Lucky Star on our tables. Thank you Lucky Star for honoring our favorite late chef.”
This isn’t the first time Lucky Star has acknowledged Mboweni’s admiration for their brand. Earlier this year, a photoshopped image of Mboweni’s face on a Lucky Star tin went viral, with the former finance minister responding lightheartedly to the edit.
