[edit] Arrest

Dion was arrested for using a Zimbabwe Cricket sponsored car after the ZC board did not offer him a new contract.Dion's lawyer told the police that ZC did not pay Dion his outstanding match fees. It was also revealed that Tatenda Taibu was also involved in the case. ZC owed both Dion and Tatenda $200,000 each in backpay. Tatenda told Associated Press that he would not give back the car until he had him match fee outstandings paid to him fully. But the ZC Board said that the Ebrahim's payment is separate to the continued use of the ZC registered car. The problem still remains unsolved.[1]
