A DATE to auction Hamilton Ndlovu's luxurious cars has been set for next week.

Ndlovu's cars were seized in 2021 and set for auction last year following a ruling by the High Court in Gauteng.

The cars include a Porsche Panamera GTS Sport, a Porsche Cayenne S Coupe, a Porsche 911 Carrera and a Lamborghini Urus. In 2020 Ndlovu made headlines as he shared a video on social media that showed off a collection of expensive cars and attracted the notice of police enforcement.

The five cars Hamilton Ndlovu bought, allegedly in one day, were seen in this video that did the rounds on social media.

According to the Special Investigating Unit's (SIU) investigation, in 2020, the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) granted R172 million worth of PPE tenders through eight firms directly or indirectly connected to Ndlovu. Of these, Ndlovu collected about 90% of the tenders.

The SIU investigation established that the contracts were obtained by abusing the emergency procurement procedures adopted by the NHLS to respond to the Covid-19 disaster during the first half of 2020.

After the conclusion of the probe, Ndlovu was ordered to pay back R158 million, with interest, on the money he received through tenders.

The Special Tribunal later ordered that frozen properties and funds held by Ndlovu, Zaisan Kaihatsu, and Bugatti Security Services and Projects, valued at R42 million, be forfeited to the state.

Daily Sun contacted SARS spokesman Siphithi Sibeko about the auction, and he said: "I'm constrained by Chapter 6 of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 from divulging confidential taxpayer information."
