In 2020, a company controlled by Mampeule took a R44 million commission on the R70 million sale of a parcel of land to the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements (GDHS), the commission amounting to 62% of the sale price. The parcel of land was purchased by its previous owner for R6.3 million just four years prior. In 2022, the Office of the Public Protector and law-enforcement agencies commenced investigations into the transaction.
