The flyhalf was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport on Sunday following an incident on an international flight. 

The NPA's Phindi Mjonondwane says Jantjies is facing charges of malicious injury to property and the contravention of the Aviation Act.

"He was arrested when the plane landed at OR Tambo International Airport, following complaints from the flight crew members about a passenger in the business class that was swearing at passengers and crew members."
