The Hawks are poised to arrest several prominent soccer officials in connection with the alleged match-fixing scandal involving Bafana Bafana.
TimesLive is quoting Hawks spokesman Paul Ramaloko as saying that the arrests will "shake South African football to its core".
Ramaloko said the Hawks had been investigating the case since August but a complaint of corruption was made only this week
Five top SA Football Association (Safa) officials, including its president Kirsten Nematandani, have been suspended pending a match-fixing inquiry into four pre-2010 World Cup warm-up games involving Bafana Bafana.
The suspensions follow a damning Fifa report into the Bafana friendlies against Thailand, Bulgaria, Colombia and Guatemala in the weeks prior to the 2010 World Cup.
Bafana won every match, except for a one all draw with Bulgaria, yet the results have been found to be have been pre-arranged to benefit an Asian betting syndicate.
Ramaloko said it was believed that R8-million was paid to senior Safa officials to ensure that Bafana Bafana won these warm-up matches.
