Ramaphosa relative scores R381 million contracts from Gauteng hospitals
1 November 2022
Companies linked to Mr Hangwani Morgan Maumela, a nephew by marriage to President Cyril Ramaphosa, have scored contracts worth R381 million in the last three years from Gauteng public hospitals.
This astounding figure is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko in a written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Legislature.
I asked her about contracts awarded to 12 companies that got R36 million from Tembisa Hospital last year. Murdered whistleblower Babita Deokaran had identified them as “possibly fraudulent”, as well as other suspicious payments totalling R850 million.
According to a News24 investigation, these companies are linked to the Maumela family - Hangwani is a director of nine of these companies, while a relative heads the other three firms.
