Presidency Denies Ramaphosa Ties to Maumela as 2023 Walk Video Resurfaces

The clarification follows SIU asset seizures after an interim report alleging Maumela’s role in Tembisa Hospital tender fraud.

Overview

  • Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said Ramaphosa encountered DJ Tbo Touch outside Hangwani Maumela’s Sandhurst house by chance during a fitness walk on September 29, 2023.
  • The Presidency insists Ramaphosa has no personal relationship with Maumela, noting only a past family connection as an ex-nephew from a previous marriage.
  • The SIU last week raided Maumela’s home and seized luxury assets, including three Lamborghini vehicles.
  • An SIU interim report alleges three syndicates looted more than R2 billion from Tembisa Provincial Tertiary Hospital, with Maumela identified as heading a network accused of siphoning nearly R900 million.
  • The Presidency says it confirmed with Tbo Touch that the video and photos were his original post, dismissed claims of weekly visits to the house, and noted Bejani Chauke rejected social-media claims linking him to the property.
