In a jaw-dropping revelation, George Guvamatanga, the Secretary for Finance and Economic Development, has allegedly splurged over R30 million on luxurious mansions in South Africa’s most affluent suburbs.
This exposé by TheNewsHawks uncovers the extent of Guvamatanga's extravagant property acquisitions, raising eyebrows and questions about the source of his wealth.
According to the investigation, Guvamatanga has purchased sprawling mansions in the upscale areas of Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban. These properties, either bought individually or through co-ownership and fronting, range in price from R720,000 to a staggering R6.3 million each.
In Johannesburg alone, the Finance Secretary is said to own 12 homes in some of the city's most prestigious neighbourhoods, including the elite Dainfern Golf Estate, Fourways, Randburg, and Sandton.
Notably, two of these properties are reportedly registered under the names of his relatives, suggesting a possible attempt to obscure ownership.
