Still Free! SIU Seized R325 Million From Hangwani Maumela, But He's not arrested

Today, we break down the shocking case of Hangwani Maumela and the Tembisa Hospital corruption scandal — and the question many South Africans are asking: why has he not been arrested? Despite the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) securing over R325 million in assets, including luxury properties and more than R75 million worth of supercars such as Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Aston Martins, and a Rolls-Royce, no criminal charges have been announced. This video explains how more than R800 million was allegedly linked to companies connected to Maumela, forming part of a broader R2.3 billion tender corruption network tied to Tembisa Hospital. We also break down the key reason behind the delay: the SIU cannot arrest or prosecute. Its role is to investigate and recover funds, while criminal cases must be handled by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). The case has already been referred to the NPA, where evidence is being processed to determine whether charges will be filed. This video also explores: The role of the SIU in asset seizures and investigations The legal difference between asset preservation and criminal prosecution Testimony linking Maumela to Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala Financial transactions involving Suleiman Carrim The political scrutiny surrounding his alleged link to President Cyril Ramaphosa The role of whistleblower Babita Deokaran, who flagged over R1 billion in suspicious payments before her assassination This case highlights the gap between investigation and accountability — and raises serious questions about the pace of justice in complex corruption cases. Watch until the end to understand exactly why no arrest has happened yet. Music by Bensound Artist: Vital License code: BLWBBQOTJHP10X0A
