South Africa news
Garth le Roux facing jail term

Garth le Roux, the former South Africa fast bowler, faces the possibility of a jail sentence after being convicted of tax fraud. His accountant, Deon van Heerden, has also been charged with the same offence.
The charges involve more than R1.9m, well above the R500,000 threshold for a minimum 15-year sentence. However, they may get a shorter term if they can persuade the court that there are good reasons for it.
Regional magistrate Jackie Redelinghuys convicted le Roux on three tax fraud counts, and van Heerden on seven. He acquitted them on the remaining 28 and postponed the case to October 27 for sentencing.
The charges stem from issues relating to the tax of commissions that le Roux earned as an agent selling property at an upmarket gold estate near George.
