That, may, in fact, be the beginning of problems for Hamilton Ndlovu who got the attention of the social media communities and then the tax authorities and subsequently Hawks after he took to Instagram to show his fleet of exotic cars that cost up to over R11 million.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after the glitzy infamous businessman started showing off his newly acquired cars on social media, he was visited by the South Africa Revenue Service (SARS) who have since seized some of the prized cars, frozen his company accounts, and continue to investigate him. Needless to say, it is for this reason that Hamilton has got a place for himself in the news, and may remain in the headlines for a while to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary of Hamilton Ndlovu&#8217;s Personal Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Full name: <\/b>Thabiso Hamilton Ndlovu<\/li>\n<li><b>Gender: <\/b>Male<\/li>\n<li><b>Date of birth: <\/b>1990<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place of Birth: <\/strong>Johannesburg, South Africa<\/li>\n<li><b><strong>Hamilton Ndlovu<\/strong>\u2019s Age: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Age Shortcode<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Ethnicity: <\/b>Mixed<\/li>\n<li><b>Nationality: <\/b>South African<\/li>\n<li><b>Zodiac Sign: <\/b>Libra<\/li>\n<li><b>Sexual Orientation: <\/b>Straight<\/li>\n<li><b>Religion: <\/b>Christian<\/li>\n<li><b>Marital Status: <\/b>Married<\/li>\n<li><b><strong>Hamilton Ndlovu<\/strong>\u2019s Wife: <\/b>Felicia Sekete<\/li>\n<li><b>Siblings: <\/b>2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Schools attended:<\/strong> Highveld Park High School, UNISA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Occupation:<\/strong> Industrialist, engineering, and entrepreneur<\/li>\n<li><b><strong>Hamilton Ndlovu<\/strong>\u2019s Height in Inches: <\/b>5&#8242; 8&#8243;<\/li>\n<li><b><strong>Hamilton Ndlovu<\/strong>\u2019s Height in Centimetres: <\/b>172<\/li>\n<li><b><strong>Hamilton Ndlovu<\/strong>\u2019s Weight: <\/b>75 kilograms (165.34 lbs.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eye Colour:<\/strong> Black<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hair Colour:<\/strong> Black<\/li>\n<li><b><strong>Hamilton Ndlovu<\/strong>\u2019s Net worth: <\/b>$300 to $450<\/li>\n<li><b>Famous for: <\/b>Being the Instagram millionaire who stole millions meant for PPE kits<\/li>\n<li><b>Twitter: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hamiltonndlovu_?lang=en\">@hamiltonndlovu_<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>A Closer Look At The Early Life And Shocking Rise of Hamilton Ndlovu<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It was as Thabiso Hamilton Ndlovu that the young controversial businessman was born in 1990, in Johannesburg, South Africa. His actual date of birth is not known, neither is any information about his parents and childhood. However, it is known that he was brought up in the country of his birth and is said to have a few siblings, although he has kept his family away from the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>Hitherto Ndlovu is a very private person; he was said to have attended Highveld Park High School, and from there, he went to the University of South Africa (UNISA), from where he graduated with a degree in electrical engineering.<\/p>\n<p>After his education, Hamilton took a job with ACTOM Electrical Products from 2012 to 2016 when he left to found HamiltonN Holdings (Pty) Ltd. A husband and father, he describes himself as an entrepreneur, industrialist, and engineer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Travails Of Hamilton Ndlovu Began After A Social Media Post<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now touted as a good lesson for young people who are still in the eager class of sharing everything on social media, Hamilton Ndlovu has pretty much enjoyed his luxury in silence for quite a while, until 2020 when he made the wrong decision of showing off the five cars he acquired for himself and family members in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>The Johannesburg businessman shared a video showing off the flashy cars on his timeline and revealing the brand and model of each of the five cars. In the video, he was been asked by someone what was wrong with him, getting so many cars in one day, to which he replied he didn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing the video at a time when South Africa was coming to terms with Covid-19 attracted some backlash for him from the public, but more than that, the more serious questions were relating to how he came about his fortune. The young man has come out to apologize for the video, which was of &#8220;poor taste&#8221; and unfortunately timed, but that was not enough to get him out of trouble with both the SARS and the Hawks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/twrMfBcJtN\">pic.twitter.com\/twrMfBcJtN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Thabiso Hamilton Ndlovu (@hamiltonndlovu_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hamiltonndlovu_\/status\/1264936412706734082?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hamilton Ndlovu Has Lost Some of His Cars To SARS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Not long after the cars hit the social media, SARS came at the doors of Hamilton knocking.

Nothing was said about the two remaining cars. According to sources, the cars, which were deemed &#8220;proceeds of crime,&#8221; were seized following an investigation by the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to that, his bank account, which has over R6 million, as well as that of his company, HamiltonN Holdings (Pty) Ltd, have also been frozen after a provisional preservation order was granted against him by the North Gauteng High Court. The properties were seized in September 2020, months after the public display of his affluence.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time that such a display of wealth, and cars to be specific, would put young South African businessmen in trouble with the law; the story of<a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/truth-about-sam-mshengus-net-worth-the-flamboyant-millionaire-with-72-cars-and-trucks\/\"> Sam Chabalala<\/a> of Sam Holdings, his fleet of cars, and how the hawks fed on him remains fresh.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Eye-catching Cars That Attracted The Eyes Of The Hawks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As he continues to face the hammer of the authorities who are trying to unravel all the mysteries behind his wealth, and if he has fulfilled his duties to the state in terms of taxes, here is a quick look at the cars he acquired:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1.

On papers, the young South African made his money as an engineer and a business owner, who has a growing professional services company, HamiltonN Holdings (Pty) Ltd, which he started in 2010. The company is located at Melrose, Johannesburg.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/za.linkedin.com\/in\/thabiso-hamilton-ndlovu-a12254198\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his LinkedIn account<\/a>, the company is into many multidisciplinary engineering practices, including electrical engineering, transformer services and maintenance, and Mini-Sub installation and maintenance, among others. Also, it is into Civil Infrastructure and Structural Engineering, Project &amp; Contract Management, as well as Mechanical Engineering. That&#8217;s not all; the company is also into consulting that covers aviation, shipping, railway, mining, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Off papers, however, the South African authorities have reasons to believe his fortune might not all be legal, prompting them to go after him. He was <a href=\"https:\/\/satrucker.co.za\/flamboyant-thabiso-hamilton-ndlovu-linked-to-a-multi-million-ppe-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">linked to the controversial Eastern Cape PPE contract<\/a>, which sources claimed the HamiltonN Holdings (Pty) Ltd CEO got through corrupt means. It was alleged that David Makhura, who was said to be his friend, helped him to secure the contract illegally, which the Premier of Gauteng<a href=\"https:\/\/citizen.co.za\/news\/south-africa\/government\/2297650\/makhura-denies-knowing-hamilton-ndlovu-alleges-a-bell-pottinger-type-smear-campaign-is-at-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> has since denied<\/a>. Although some sources claimed he got up to R125 million worth of the personal protective equipment contract, there is still yet to be any concrete link.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>He Caused A Serious Division Among South Africans On Social Media<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CAsMNUFBcz9\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
