Babita Deokaran's death anniversary: Special Tribunal orders sale of Ferrari linked to Tembisa Hospital corruption investigation
The Special Tribunal has approved the sale of a Ferrari SF90 Stradale linked to procurement irregularities at Tembisa Hospital, dismissing attempts by alleged fraudster Hangwani Morgan Maumela to block the sale. This ruling underscores the ongoing efforts to recover assets acquired through unlawful government contracts.
On the anniversary of Babita Deokaran's death, a Special Tribunal has ordered the sale of a Ferrari SF90 Stradale linked to the corruption investigation at Tembisa Hospital. The high-end car belongs to Hangwani Morgan Maumela, a key figure in the Special Investigating Unit's (SIU) probe. The car was registered in the name of Maumela's family trust without informing the curator, which Judge Ngoepe deemed a deceitful tactic to impede the sale.
The vehicle, originally bought for R11.13 million in April 2022, is worth about R10.1 million, but the costs associated with maintaining it, such as insurance, storage, and a warranty reinstatement, make it a financial burden. The tribunal ruled that investing the sale proceeds would better preserve the estate's value. The decision follows a preservation order granted on August 14, 2025, which includes several luxury properties and high-performance vehicles allegedly acquired through unlawful government contracts.
