Hangwani Maumela seeking to halt the sale of his forfeited luxury assets – report
The High Court in July granted the NPA a forfeiture order for assets tied to Maumela and the Tembisa Hospital corruption scandal.
Businessman Hangwani Maumela is seeking to halt the court-ordered sale of his confiscated luxury assets. In July, the Gauteng High Court granted the Asset Forfeiture Unit of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) the authority to forfeit Maumela's properties and vehicles. Maumela's legal representatives have since contacted the NPA to appeal the intended sale of these assets.
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) had previously seized millions in assets, including luxury cars and properties, in connection with the Tembisa Hospital corruption investigation. The NPA informed that they had received a recission application from Maumela's legal representatives, indicating their intention to challenge the decision.
A recission of judgement aims to reverse or set aside the court order. NPA Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi had previously praised the High Court's decision, highlighting the importance of depriving criminals of their ill-gotten wealth and holding them accountable.
