The Special Investigating Unit (SIU ) has swooped on 11 luxury vehicles, including limited-edition supercars, belonging to alleged Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hangwani Maumela – adding to the already attached eight properties (worth a total of about R175m) in Johannesburg, Ballito, Cape Town and North West, reports TimesLIVE.
The cars include Aston Martins, Lamborghinis and Ferrairs. Some were found at a dealership in Mpumalanga, but despite their acquisition being linked to proceeds from the Tembisa looting, the dealership and SIU are embroiled in a legal battle over the attachment of five of them.
The matter is now before the High Court in Johannesburg.
In October, the SIU had descended on Maumela’s palatial home in Sandhurst, where, among other assets, three blue Lamborghinis were taken and attached.
