 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son.  Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department.  Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside.  Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room.

S. A: HOW R2 BILLION MEANT FOR HEALTHCARE WAS STOLEN. (PHOTO).

 How R2 Billion Meant for Healthcare was Stolen


The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has revealed shocking levels of fraud and corruption at Tembisa Hospital, where more than R2 billion meant for healthcare services was looted through coordinated criminal syndicates.


The SIU’s interim report shows that at least three major syndicates, involving both officials and service providers, were behind the theft. The funds were diverted through fake procurement processes, money laundering schemes, and fraudulent contracts that never delivered any goods or services to the hospital.


The Syndicates

 • Maumela Syndicate: Linked to businessman Hangwani Morgan Maumela, this group allegedly stole over R816 million. Assets worth more than R520 million, including luxury properties in Bantry Bay and Sandton, as well as high-end cars like Lamborghinis and Bentleys, have been traced and frozen.

 • Mazibuko Syndicate: Connected to Rudolph Mazibuko, this syndicate handled contracts worth R283 million, with assets of at least R42 million identified.

 • Syndicate X: Managed fraudulent deals worth nearly R596 million, with assets of about R150 million uncovered.


Smaller groups of service providers were also linked to irregular payments running into millions of rands.


Implicated Officials


At least 15 current and former officials from the Gauteng Department of Health and Tembisa Hospital have been implicated in corruption, collusion, and bid rigging. The SIU has already made 116 disciplinary referrals, with more expected as investigations continue.


How the Money Was Stolen


The syndicates used fake procurement documents to bypass tender rules by keeping contracts below R500,000. This “three-quote system” was manipulated with front companies and fake bidders to create the illusion of competition. In many cases, no goods were delivered to the hospital at all.


Recoveries and Action


The SIU has referred cases worth R42 million to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and is working with the Asset Forfeiture Unit to freeze properties, cars, and other luxury assets bought with stolen money. Civil proceedings are also being prepared to recover funds and hold those involved accountable.


Ongoing Investigation


The SIU says the investigation is complex and will continue until November 2027. The unit has pledged to protect whistleblowers and investigators who are helping expose the corruption.


The report highlights how weak oversight, collusion by officials, and deliberate abuse of procurement systems robbed vulnerable patients of vital healthcare resources.
