Controversial businessman Hamilton Ndlovu’s cars were not part of the auction that was held by Park Village Auctions on Wednesday morning as planned.
The anxiously awaited auction was postponed until further notice, said the auctioneers on Wednesday morning.
The flashy supercars he bought in one day included a Lamborghini Urus, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, a Porsche Panamera GTS Sport, and a Porsche Cayenne S Coupe to a value of over R10 million. Registrations for the national auction were opened last week at R7 000 deposit per bidder.

Ndlovu’s demise came after a Special Investigating Unit probe found that he fraudulently obtained some of his tenders.
The 34-year-old CEO of Hamilton Projects, who flashed his luxurious fleet of cars on social media two years ago, was said to have been awarded Personal protective equipment tender contracts worth R172 million from the National Health Laboratory Services in 2020 during the Covid-19 outbreak through eight different companies that were directly and indirectly linked to him.
