Maumela is reportedly a nephew of President Cyril Ramaphosa, from a previous marriage.

The Thursday morning operation unfolded at Maumela's larney Sandhurst residence, where law enforcement officials, locksmiths, and removal trucks entered under a Special Tribunal order. Among the items taken were three blue Lamborghinis, designer furniture, and valuable works of art believed to have been purchased with proceeds of corrupt hospital contracts.

Ngwako Motsieng, SIU senior communications manager said: “The SIU confirms an operation took place at a Sandhurst home linked to our Tembisa Hospital investigation.
