Eleven vehicles, including limited-edition supercars, are among assets belonging to alleged Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin<\/a> Hangwani Maumela attached by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU).<\/p>\n

The SIU has now attached eight properties in Sandhurst in Johannesburg, upmarket Ballito in KwaZulu-Natal, Cape Town and Hartbeespoort in North West.<\/p>\n

The eight properties are estimated to be worth around R175m, according to the SIU.<\/p>\n

The SIU confirmed to the Sunday Times that vehicles linked with Maumela were seized:<\/p>\n

Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n STO valued at about R8.1m;Lamborghini Aventador SVJ valued at around R8.8m;Lamborghini Urus valued at about R5m;Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Coup\u00e9 valued at approximately R9m;Aston Martin DB11 valued at about R3.8m; and A Ferrari SF 90 hybrid valued at approximately R10m.<\/p>\n

The Ferrari and Aston Martin were among five luxury vehicles registered in the name of Omar\u2019s Motor Den in Mpumalanga. <\/p>\n

Despite an SIU investigation linking the acquisition of the cars with proceeds from the looting of Tembisa Hospital, the dealership was contesting its ownership.<\/p>\n

SIU spokesperson Selby Makgotho said some of the cars were found at Omar\u2019s Motor Den in eMalahleni, Mpumalanga: <\/p>\n

A Ferrari 812 Superfast worth about R6m;An Aston Martin DBS worth about R4m; andA Rolls-Royce Cullinan worth about R10.6m.<\/p>\n

These would be released to the dealership if something of the same value was put up as security as per a special tribunal order of January 30, which was being challenged in court.<\/p>\n

Makgotho said the vehicles owned by Omar\u2019s Motor Den were never removed from the dealership.<\/p>\n

He said alternative security for the vehicles was to be provided to the curator with two unbonded properties of the same value offered in exchange.<\/p>\n

The dealership and the SIU are embroiled in a legal battle over the attachment of five vehicles.<\/p>\n

Makgotho confirmed the dealership has since headed to court in a bid to have the cars released to them unconditionally. The matter is now before the high court in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Asked what the SIU makes of the vehicles believed to be acquired by Maumela but registered under third parties, Makgotho said: \u201cThis will be relevant to the ongoing civil proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SIU confirmed that the investigation into the R2bn looting of the Tembisa Hospital is still ongoing.<\/p>\n

Makgotho said only the five vehicles registered with Omar\u2019s Motor Den may be released from attachment, but \u201conly when alternative security has been set\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said one vehicle was released from attachment after an alternative security worth the full value of the vehicle was provided by a family trust the car was registered under.<\/p>\n

He said the immovable properties were not taken but attached and secured in the Deeds Office, with \u201cthe original occupants still allowed to stay in the properties\u201d.<\/p>\n

In October, the SIU descended on Maumela\u2019s palatial home in Sandhurst, where, among other assets, three blue Lamborghinis were taken and attached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eleven vehicles, including limited-edition supercars, are among assets belonging to alleged Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hangwani Maumela attached…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190846,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[52],"tags":[97086,97087,97088,97084,19886,131,97085],"class_list":["post-190845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-south-africa","tag-luxury-cars","tag-luxury-vehicles","tag-mansions","tag-morgan-hangwani-maumela","tag-properties","tag-south-africa","tag-tembisa-hospital-corruption"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@africa\/116417872637952339","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
