South African celebrities, Ntsiki Mazwai and Sol Phenduka, weighed in after the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) raided Hangwani Maumela's luxury Sandton home.
Maumela was flagged as one of the leaders of the syndicates that looted R2 billion from Tembisa Hospital. The SIU raided his Sandton home on Thursday, 9 October 2025, as part of an R820 million asset recovery operation.
As videos and photos of the SIU’s removal trucks filled with three Lamborghinis and other luxury items went viral on social media, South Africans weighed in with disbelief. Ntsiki Mazwai and Sol Phenduka joined the conversation, with one sharing a hilarious take and the other a controversial one.

SA weighs in on Ntsiki Mazwai's reaction
In the comments section beneath Ntsiki Mazwai’s reaction, South Africans expressed a mix of reactions. While some agreed with Ntsiki, others disagreed with her and justified barring foreigners from receiving medical assistance at public hospitals.
Here are some of the comments:
@Nama_Khoe asked:
“Can these two things be true at the same time?”
@Pablo012GP argued:
“Ntsiki, wait ✋🏾, don’t and never mix these issues. Corruption is a very serious issue that is being committed by our government officials; hence, we suffer on the ground. With the little that we have, we can’t afford to share it with Foreigners ☝🏾. They should just go home and stop being cowards. Fight for their freedom in their own countries. Not South Africa, our Land! We can’t turn a blind eye to them (Foreigners). They commit lots of crimes in our Country and we end up not being able to trace them.”
@NguluvheKhulu suggested:
“We have to fight both; the corrupt and the illegal immigrants leeching on our meagre resources, that is the right thing to do.”
@GuleVuyani said:
“Ask people who actually work in clinics and hospitals, let them tell you about the relief in terms of numbers and availability of beds and medicine. The problem is multifaceted, and dealing with one doesn't prevent dealing with the other. They are all problems that need attention.”
