COMMENT:

Good to see some movement in the Tembisa Hospital scandal with more assets going to be seized.

Every step towards accountability is welcome.

But one critical question still hangs over this case:

If businessman Hangwani Morgan Maumela is allegedly the mastermind behind the multibillion-rand tender fraud and looting syndicate at Tembisa Hospital, why has he still not been criminally charged?

Is he being protected?

The SIU’s investigation uncovered alleged procurement irregularities involving more than R2-billion meant for healthcare.

Investigators say dozens of proxy and front companies were allegedly used to secure contracts, while the Asset Forfeiture Unit and SIU obtained preservation orders for assets reportedly worth more than R300 million, including luxury properties and high-end vehicles.

Yet despite these developments, Maumela has not been criminally charged.

The NPA has previously indicated that it is working to convert the evidence gathered during the investigations into admissible, trial-ready evidence. If that is the reason for the delay, the public deserves regular updates.

South Africans have watched this scandal unfold for years while public healthcare suffered.

The focus now must be on ensuring that everyone allegedly responsiblewhether public officials, businesspeople or facilitators-is held accountable through the courts.

Justice must not only be done; it must be seen to be done.

🙄 @eNCA ‘s @HeidiGiokos and @Abramjee just turned “journalism” into a paid editorial for a man the SIU raided for his association with Maumela. Let’s stop pretending this is news please. 🙄

A deadly Black Mamba is snatched mid-air by a Snake Eagle… but the hunter becomes the hunted as the snake twists free and locks onto the eagle’s talons in a brutal struggle. Before either can escape, lions arrive on the scene, turning the chaos into a full-scale battle-leaving the trapped eagle with almost no chance of breaking free.

In Midrand, Thabo Mokoena had just been paid R7,184,230.55 by Eskom…
48 hours later, he was kidnapped and forced to transfer every cent out of his account. What happened next is not how these stories usually end, thanks to his bank.

A Case Study.

Remember that time Nestlé tried to steal rooibos tea?

Rooibos only grows in one place on Earth, the Western Cape, particularly in the Cederberg region.
Nowhere else. Not Europe. Not Asia. Not the Americas. Just there.

In 2010, not satisfied with poisoning babies for decades, Swiss food giant Nestlé filed multiple patent applications attempting to claim the health and cosmetic uses of Rooibos.

Yes, a European corporation tried to patent the uses of a plant that is indigenous to South Africa, has been used for generations by local communities, and forms part of their traditional knowledge system.

Educated people call such brazen extraction of biological resources for private ownership and profit, biopiracy. Or audacia specimen-snatchia et impudentis scientiae imperium in Latin.

Fortunately, the SA government refused the brown envelopes and briefcases full of US dollars and rejected all five patent applications. There was probably a language barrier during the “negotiations”.

Then in 2019 the government formally recognised Khoi and San communities as custodians of the traditional knowledge surrounding Rooibos.

Under the agreement, they are entitled to 1.5% of the annual value of unprocessed Rooibos sold and the funds go toward cultural preservation, education, and social development.

This was a reminder that colonisers don’t just come with ships and flags anymore. Sometimes they come with patent filings. And always with briefcases.

Also, the fact that it’s even called “rooibos” is itself a form of colonialism.

I don’t speak Khoi or San, but I’m certain they don’t have that word in their indigenous lexicon. But that’s another story.
