## Resource

In a major corruption crackdown, South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority is seizing over 300 million rand in luxury assets—including mansions, supercars, and a yacht—from businessman Hangwani Maumela, allegedly stolen through rigged hospital contracts. The probe began after the tragic murder of whistleblower Babita Deokaran, whose tip exposed a scheme where 14 shell companies siphoned 400 million rand from Tembisa Hospital’s supply chain. Investigators found most funds vanished into lavish purchases and bribes, with only a fraction used for actual hospital services. This court victory signals a powerful blow against corruption, with recovered assets earmarked to rebuild public healthcare in Gauteng.
