Auction Date: 28 August 2024
The auction of Hamilton Ndlovu's luxury cars on 28 August 2024 garnered significant attention, with nearly 700 bidders participating. Pre-bidding activity was intense, and the final auction yielded a total of R 8,735,000.00.
"Hallelujah!!! It's just money ... go on guys." These were some of the encouraging words the auctioneer, Clive Lazarus, used to motivate bidders to outbid one another during the sale of tenderprenuer Hamilton Ndlovu's yellow Lamborghini Urus at an auction on Wednesday afternoon. The bidding for the luxury high-performance sports car, which began at R3m, lasted for at least four minutes. The car, which was the star attraction of the auction, fetched an impressive R4,345m, just over R1m more than what Park Village Auctions in Johannesburg had expected earlier this week.
The auction was the state's third attempt at recouping R157m that Ndlovu scored in 19 unlawful personal protective equipment (PPE) tenders in 2020. He also owes the taxman millions of rand. His Bryanston, Johannesburg, mansion was auctioned last year to the value of R7.1m while bank accounts which belong to some of the companies linked to him were frozen with R42m balance in them. This is the big moment. This is one of Hamilton's vehicles. It's not important how we start, it's how we finish that's important. Auctioneer, Clive Lazarus
