Cricket SA match-fixing investigators refute allegations black players were targeted TiisetsoMalepa
David Becker, the lawyer who was appointed by CSA to lead the investigation with Louis Cole, the organisation’s designated anti-corruption officer, appeared at the Social Justice and Nation-building hearings this week to respond to allegations made by some of the players during their testimonies in July.
“I deny that Van Jaarsveld received any favourable treatment or that I favoured him because he is white.” Mbhalati and Tsolekile made similar allegations, saying the decision not to charge Van Jaarsveld was racially motivated. “I deny that Mr Becker and I intimidated, coerced or threatened players. The reality of the situation is that they do not have clean hands and they are trying to play victims when they are in fact perpetrators of corrupt conduct,” said Cole.
“They also fail to appreciate how much damage they did to cricket in South Africa and the world,” said Cole.
