S'manga Khumalo.

THE spotlight has been placed on the horse racing sector after two well-known South African jockeys were recently found guilty on charges related to corruption, race-fixing and their conduct.

In recent months, S’manga Khumalo and Luyolo Mxothwa found themselves before an Inquiry Board appointed by the National Horseracing Authority (NHA) of Southern Africa for breaching its rules.

The NHA is the sole independent regulator of horse racing in South Africa, in terms of the National Gambling Act.

Last month, Khumalo was found guilty on three separate contraventions of NHA rules.
