The head of Cricket South Africa’s Anti-Corruption Unit says the majority of players implicated in match-fixing were black because they were ones contacted by Gulam Bodi.

“Bodi told us that he approached each one systematically. In the interviews we did and the Whatsapp messages we it details the appointments that he made with them and the discussions relating to why he was going to meet them. It sets out the dates he met with them. We just followed the evidence as it was given to us,” said Cole.

Alviro Petersen, another player who had been sanctioned following the investigation, told the SJN in July that fixing occurred in the tournament. That match between the Lions – for whom Petersen, Tsolekile and Tsotsobe all played and Dolphins in Durban, had been the subject of much activity with meetings between Petersen, Bodi and the illegal gamblers taking place on the morning of the match.Petersen informed Cole half an hour before the start of play that the match would be fixed, claiming he’d overheard a conversation between Tsolekile and Tsotsobe.
