SIU searches for Bentley linked to Tembisa Hospital fraud accused

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is intensifying its search for eight luxury vehicles, including a forfeited Bentley, linked to businessman Hangwani Morgan Maumela. Maumela is a key suspect in a R2 billion corruption and procurement fraud scandal involving Tembisa Hospital. The SIU conducted a search-and-seizure operation at a Midrand property, following an anonymous tip-off that the Bentley was located there.

While the Bentley was not found, the search continues for the other vehicles, which include four Ferraris and three Porsches. The SIU is also considering contempt of court proceedings against Maumela, who has repeatedly challenged court orders through legal applications.
