He was arrested when the plane landed after crew members complained about his behaviour. The World Cup winner was arrested in May when his flight landed at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. He is then said to have damaged the TV and a light. His agent, James Adams, said in a statement that a light was broken on the aircraft but the incident on the Emirates flight from Dubai to Johannesburg had been unnecessarily "heightened". Jantjies was a member of the Springboks' victorious Rugby World Cup squad in Japan in 2019, when he was backup flyhalf to Handré Pollard. During the flight, Jantjies was ordered back to his seat in the business class area after breaking a glass that cut his hand, Mjonondwane said.
