The Special Investigating Unit SIU has been ordered to conditionally release five luxury vehicles linked to corruption-accused businessman Hangwani Maumela, who is implicated in the alleged R2 billion looting of Tembisa Hospital.
The cars - including two Aston Martins, two Ferraris and a Rolls-Royce - were seized from Omar's Motor Den in Witbank after SIU raids last year.
Last Friday, former Special Tribunal president Judge Margaret Victor ruled that the SIU failed to disclose key information when obtaining the preservation order and ordered the vehicles' release, provided the dealership furnishes financial security equal to each car's market value.
