SIU swoop on Maumela's Sandton mansion in Tembisa Hospital graft probe
The Special Investigating Unit has raided the house of businessman Hangwani Maumela, who has been implicated in the looting of R2 billion at Tembisa Hospital.
The upmarket property, which is situated in Sandhurst, includes a car wash, salon, gym and a massage parlour.
Three luxury cars, which include Lamborghinis, were seized by the SIU officials and heavily armed police on Thursday.
Last month, the National Prosecuting Authority’s Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU) secured two major preservation orders against members of two syndicates implicated in large-scale corruption and fraud at Tembisa Hospital.
The orders, granted by the Gauteng High Court, cover luxury homes, vehicles, and other assets valued at nearly R400 million belonging to the Hangwani Maumela syndicate.
The corruption network was uncovered after Gautengf Health Department official Babita Deokaran, who was assassinated in August 2021, flagged suspicious procurement transactions at the hospital.
According to the AFU, funds meant for hospital supplies were instead diverted to finance extravagant lifestyles.
The SIU is expected to issue out a statement detailing the value of the seized assets. ^CS
