Ex-South Africa cricketer Thami Tsolekile banned for 12 years for match-fixing

Former South Africa cricketer Thami Tsolekile is banned for 12 years for match-fixing.

Former South Africa cricketer Thami Tsolekile has been banned for 12 years for his role in a match-fixing scandal.

The 35-year-old, who represented his country in three Tests between 2004 and 2005, was found guilty of fixing matches in the Ram Slam Twenty20 competition in South Africa last year.

Pumelela Matshikwe and Ethy Mbhalati were hit with 10-year bans for their involvement in match-fixing, while Jean Symes has been ordered to serve a seven-year suspension, according to BBC Sport.

The group were found guilty of accepting money from former South Africa spinner Goolam Bodi, who was banned for 20 years in January.

The investigation is ongoing.
