SIU looking for four Ferraris, three Porches, and one Bentley belonging to Hangwani Morgan Maumela

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) said its appointed curator is going after luxury cars which Hangwani Morgan Maumela is hiding.

On Friday, 30 October 2026, the SIU said the curator was pursuing information about a vehicle located at a property in Midrand, Johannesburg.

The operation followed an anonymous whistleblower report alleging that a Bentley belonging to Maumela has been concealed at an associate’s property.

“Although the vehicle was not found on the property, the SIU will relentlessly pursue to find all eight vehicles as stipulated by the Special Tribunal order,” it said.

The curator is acting in accordance with the two prior court orders placing the vehicles under the curator’s control.

The SIU said that there are eight cars still outstanding in the case, including four Ferraris, three Porsches and one Bentley.

The Special Tribunal order delivered in October 2025 referred to the “Syndicate”, also known as “the Maumela Syndicate”.

It directed the Maumela Syndicate to make a full and frank written disclosure, under oath, of all property and assets they own.

These include movable or immovable assets, corporeal or incorporeal, and all funds standing to their credit, including any debts or claims owing to them. 

It added that the disclosure must cover all property and assets that they own, have beneficial ownership of, or hold any right, title, interest or other real right.

These actions are linked to the high-profile Tembisa Hospital investigation into corruption and fraud, in which over R2 billion was stolen.

“The SIU is authorised to investigate allegations of corruption and maladministration in the affairs of the Gauteng Department of Health and Tembisa Hospital,” it said.

Last year, the SIU obtained an order to preserve assets valued at R900 million linked to the Maumela Syndicate.

The curator is actively tracing and preserving additional properties, assets and funds to give full effect to the preservation order, which is valued at R503 million.

Under the Special Investigating Units and Special Tribunals Act, the SIU is empowered to obtain bank statements and cellphone records.

It can also obtain evidence by search and seizure and interrogate witnesses under oath as part of its investigations.

The SIU can also institute civil proceedings in the High Court to recover losses suffered by the State and remedy wrongdoing uncovered during its investigations.

“Any evidence pointing to criminal conduct will be referred to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for further action,” it said.
