Probably the only South African cricketer in this list Makhaya Ntini had made headlines back in January 1999 when he was found guilty of rape by attacking a 22-year student. The incident also made him miss his spot in the 1999 World Cup team.

As per the reports Ntini claimed that he had given the 22-year old student a lift in his car during a storm and had to take a detour to the city’s Buffalo park ground to repay some money that he was owing to another player. The victim, however, stated to the court that Nitini had raped her in one of the toilets at the stadium. 

However, in November 1999 Nitini filed a successive appeal against his conviction which helped him terminate his imprisonment. Later on, Nitini went onto play 101 Tests for South Africa and bagged 390 wickets.
