South Africa recovers R8.3bn in corruption proceeds — but accountability remains elusive

Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi announced that the Asset Forfeiture Unit has recovered R8.3 billion but emphasized the need to hold those who enable corruption accountable. She also noted that the Special Investigating Unit recovered assets and cash worth R936 million. The Tembisa Hospital corruption case illustrates the state's efforts to recover proceeds of corruption, with a final forfeiture of R326 million in assets linked to businessman Hangwani Maumela.
