CONVICTED rapist Makhaya Ntini appeared in two premier league club cricket matches this season despite being ordered by the Border Cricket Board to refrain from playing until his appeal has been heard. Ntini, who also played Test cricket for South Africa, played in matches against Rhodes and Healdtown. The chairman of Willows Cricket Club, Simon Mlonyeni, said that the club will play Ntini “until justice has taken its course. After all, Ntini’s whole life is cricket, he is a cricketer and he must play”.
