This follows findings in the SIU’s interim report, which revealed that more than R2 billion was looted from the hospital through fraudulent procurement processes.

According to investigators, the funds were siphoned off under the guise of legitimate contracts, with many involving no goods delivered despite thousands of purchase orders being processed.

Maumela Syndicate Allegedly at Centre of Massive Fraud

The SIU report identifies three major syndicates believed to have orchestrated the large-scale looting. One of these, the Maumela Syndicate, is allegedly linked to businessman Hangwani Morgan Maumela, whose lavish assets reportedly include multiple luxury homes and high-end vehicles.
