SIU Raids Sandhurst Home of Alleged Tembisa Tender Kingpin, Seizes Luxury Cars

The operation reflects a shift from reporting to enforcement in the R2bn Tembisa fraud probe.

Overview

  • Investigators confirmed a coordinated action at Hangwani Maumela’s Sandhurst property, with police and removal trucks on site as assets were catalogued under court orders.
  • The SIU reported identifying assets linked to the Maumela network valued at about R520 million, including properties and artworks, with luxury vehicles valued at roughly R223.6 million.
  • Properties traced to the network include Gauteng holdings and a Bantry Bay purchase of R75 million, as detailed in the SIU’s interim findings.
  • The Asset Forfeiture Unit previously confiscated assets reported at around R400 million, including multiple Lamborghinis, a Bentley, homes and a boat.
  • The SIU has referred matters for prosecution, is working with the NPA on civil and criminal steps, and says further actions will follow as the Tembisa Hospital investigation continues.
