THE Special Investigating Unit (SIU) said its raid yesterday and attachment of assets at a luxury property in Sandton belonging to Hangwani Maumela was linked to implementing its recommendations contained in its recently released interim report into the R2 billion corruption scandal at Tembisa Hospital.

Among the items seized were three Lamborghinis, massage parlour equipment and expensive artwork.

This raid follows an explosive report by the SIU, which revealed that over R2 billion was looted through fraudulent procurement deals at the Tembisa Hospital.

Maumela and two other businessmen, ‘Vusimuzi Matlala and Rudolph Mazibuko, were among those named by the SIU as having benefitted through various irregular tenders at the hospital.

In August, the Assets Forfeiture Unit raided Maumela’s and Mazibuko’s properties, valued at approximately R326 million and R47 million, respectively.
