SIU looking for Ferraris, Porsches, and a Bentley hidden by Tembisa hospital suspect

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is on the lookout for eight luxury cars hidden by Hangwani Morgan Maumela, one of the key suspects involved in the R2-billion Tembisa Hospital corruption scandal.

On Friday, 30 October 2026, the SIU confirmed that its appointed curator was searching for multiple high-end cars that Maumela had acquired using funds allegedly looted from hospital procurement contracts.

At least 23 vehicles have been identified thus far. The curator has taken possession of 15 and is currently searching for another eight cars.

This comes after a whistleblower informed the SIU that Maumela had hidden one of the missing cars, a Bentley, 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,” the curator said.

The curator added that it is acting in accordance with two prior court orders placing the implicated vehicles under its control.

In addition to the Bentley, the SIU is searching for seven other cars, including three Porsches and four Ferraris.

While a full list of every make and model of vehicle linked to the Tembisa Hospital scandal has yet to be released, the government previously confirmed that the following cars had been recovered, with approximate values:

• Bentley Continental GT V8 – R3 million
• Ferrari SF90 Stradale – R11 million
• Lamborghini Aventador Ultimate Coupe – R9 million
• Lamborghini Huracan STO – R8.1 million
• Lamborghini Urus – R5 million
• Lamborghini Urus Aventador SVJ – R9 million

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale was originally purchased in 2022 for R11,126,662. In August 2026, the Special Tribunal announced that the Italian supercar would be put up for sale at a minimum price of R9.5 million.

Other cars linked to the scandal include a Ferrari 812 Superfast (R6 million), an Aston Martin DBS (R4 million), Aston Martin DB11 (R3.8 million), a Ferrari 488 GTB (R4 million) and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan (R10.6 million).

The Aston Martins, Rolls-Royce, 812, and 488 were traced to the Omar Motor Den, which is facing allegations of acting as a front to conceal, launder, or move the luxury cars implicated in the Tembisa scandal.

In October 2025, the Special Tribunal delivered an order referring to the “Syndicate” or “Maumela Syndicate,” directing the suspects 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, reported Newsday.

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.
