Mabe at risk of losing his Porsche Carrera and Steyn City property - EWN
Senior African National Congress (ANC) politician Pule Mabe is at risk of losing his Porsche Carrera and Steyn City property after failing to stop the Special Investigating Unit (SIU)'s civil recovery action.
The Special Tribunal recently dismissed Mabeβs application to halt the SIUβs preservation order on his assets that he allegedly bought through the proceeds of crime.Β
In 2024, an SIU investigation found Mabe unlawfully benefited from an irregular R27 million tender that was awarded to his company, Enviro Mobi, by the Gauteng government.
The tender was for the supply of three-wheel waste collection vehicles.
When the SIU completed its investigation, it referred the matter to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
In October 2024, Mabe, along with his associates, was arrested, and his matter is still ongoing at the Palm Ridge Specialised Court.
In his application to the Special Tribunal, Mabe argued the SIU must wait for his criminal matter to conclude before moving on his assets.
However, the tribunal found his application lacked merit and was an attempt to delay justice.
