**VIDEO: Shocking New Details About Morgan Maumela and the Tembisa Hospital Scandal**
South Africa is once again shocked by new findings in the corruption scandal involving businessman Hangwani Morgan Maumela and the Tembisa Hospital. What started as small whispers of irregular tenders has now turned into one of the biggest hospital corruption stories in the country — involving **over R2 billion** meant for sick patients and public health services.
Investigations by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU)show that the money was stolen through fake tenders, inflated prices, and ghost deliveries. The report says the Tembisa Hospital became a playground for three criminal networks, with Maumela leading one of them. His group alone is believed to have taken over R816 million through companies linked to him.
Authorities say this money was supposed to buy medicine, hospital beds, and medical equipment. Instead, it was used to buy luxury cars like Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and expensive houses in Gauteng, Cape Town, and KwaZulu-Natal. The Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU) has now frozen many of these assets, including a R75 million Bantry Bay mansion and several high-end vehicles, one of them a Lamborghini Urus worth nearly R5 million.
The SIU found that Maumela and others worked with hospital insiders — clerks, managers, and even some nurses — who approved fake purchase orders and signed off on goods that were never delivered. In return, some of them allegedly received cash kickbacks or other benefits. It’s said that more than 1,700 fake purchase bundles were linked to Maumela’s companies.
The corruption went unnoticed for years, but people are now remembering the late whistleblower Babita Deokaran, who was killed in 2021 after exposing strange payments at Tembisa Hospital. Many South Africans are now saying her warnings were ignored, and her death was in vain because the same system kept operating until now.
Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has called for lifetime bans for officials caught stealing from hospitals. He said people who rob public health funds “should be removed from society.” The public is furious that while patients struggle for beds, oxygen, and medicine, millions were flowing into private pockets.
The investigation is still ongoing. Several suspects are expected to face criminal charges, and over 100 hospital officials are being referred for disciplinary action. The SIU says this is just the beginning — the same corrupt network may exist in other hospitals around the country.
The scandal has also brought political pressure. Many are questioning why people like Maumela had so much power inside the health system and how no one stopped the fraud earlier. There are even claims that some powerful people protected him for years.
This case has become a painful reminder of how corruption destroys public trust. Money stolen from hospitals means more patients die waiting for help that never comes. The flashy lifestyle of tenderpreneurs like Maumela now stands in dark contrast to the suffering of ordinary South Africans who depend on public health care.
For now, the investigation continues,
and the public is watching closely. South Africans want justice — not just frozen cars and houses, but real jail time for everyone who stole from the sick.
