What happens when the fight against corruption hits close to home? On October 9th, 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa faced an impossible choice: defend his family, or defend his nation. As investigators descended on his nephew Hangwani Maumela's mansion, seizing a trio of Lamborghinis allegedly bought with stolen public funds, Ramaphosa secretly made his decision, a bold one, one that would appease his legion of supporters and haters alike. But the raid on Maumela's home is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. Why were 121 sensitive case files under the control of suspended deputy police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya? What secrets do they hold? And how deep does the corruption run? This is a story of betrayal, power, and the desperate struggle to save South Africa from itself.
Get the true story behind the headlines! This documentary-style report dives deep into the explosive events of October 9th, 2025, when the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) launched a daring raid on the opulent mansion of Hangwani Maumela, nephew of President Cyril Ramaphosa. This isn't just breaking news; it's a chronicle of alleged corruption at the highest levels.
Our investigation uncovers how Hangwani Maumela, a businessman with extensive ties to government contracts, saw his world crumble as investigators seized three azure frost blue Lamborghinis – an Urus SUV, a Huracan STO, and an Aventador – all suspected of being purchased with funds siphoned from the Tembisa Hospital scandal. We trace the network of companies allegedly used by Maumela to divert 820 million rand in just two years, exploiting loopholes and inflating prices for medical supplies, catering, and cleaning materials.
The story takes a tragic turn with Babita Deokaran, the dedicated official who uncovered these irregularities and flagged suspicious payments involving Maumela's companies. Her forensic report highlighted 14 entities linked to Maumela that received contracts worth 415 million rand, marking them as potentially fraudulent. This is the latest news on the fight against corruption.
But the saga doesn't end with Maumela. Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya also faces scrutiny as police raided his home as part of an inquiry into 121 case dockets transferred under his directive. Were these files compromised, or was there a cover-up?
We also delve into the involvement of Oupa Brown Mogotsi and his foundation, exploring his connections to a one-billion-rand food supply tender and his alleged attempts to manipulate procurement processes. What role did Mogotsi play in this complex web of influence?
President Cyril Ramaphosa's connection to Maumela adds another layer of intrigue. How did Maumela amass such wealth, and what does this say about the systems in place to prevent corruption?
The Asset Forfeiture Unit has frozen Maumela's empire, seizing properties and vehicles worth over 325 million rand, including a mansion in Bantry Bay, Cape Town, and properties in Sandton, JOHANNESBURG.
This is a story of betrayal, power, and the desperate struggle to save South Africa from itself.
