Former Proteas ODI player and Dolphins stalwart Vaughn van Jaarsveld has said Thami Tsolekile’s match-fixing claims about him were disgusting and that he has nothing to hide.

“Vaughn van Jaarsveld was approached by Gulam Bodi at North-West during the Africa T20 Cup‚ but no one has ever heard of Vaughn. He never disclosed the approach‚” Tsolekile said to show host Robert Marawa.

Van Jaarsveld didn’t dispute the fact that he was approached by Bodi‚ who is not only serving a 20-year-ban from cricket because of his role in the 2015 Ram Slam T20 match-fixing scandal‚ but was also handed a five-year jail sentence under the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act of 2004‚ which was set up in the aftermath of Hansie Cronje’s match-fixing scandal in 2000.
