Hawks’ Spokesperson Katlego Mogale says in 2016 an anti-corruption official at Cricket South Africa received information about allegations of match fixing by Mbhlati.

Mbhlati was arrested in November last year, along with two other members.

He is among the four former cricket players that have been convicted and sentenced in relation to the T20 match fixing scandal.

Mogale says the five years’ imprisonment has been wholly suspended.

“Mbhalati was arrested together with Tsotsobe and Tsolekile in November 2024. He has since appeared before the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court, where he was sentenced to five years imprisonment wholly suspended for five years on condition that he is not found guilty of the same offence during the period of suspension.”
