Three former South African cricketers - Ethy Mbhalati, Thami Tsolekile, and Lonwabo Tsotsobe - have been arrested by the Hawks in connection with a match-fixing scheme during the 2015/2016 domestic T20 Ram Slam Challenge. The arrests were confirmed by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation DPCI in a statement released on Friday. Tsotsobe was arrested on Friday, Tsolekile on Thursday, and Mbhalati, who never represented South Africa, was arrested on 18 November.
The arrests followed a detailed investigation by the Serious Corruption Investigation unit of the DPCI, which was prompted by a whistleblowers report in October 2016.
