Should the Hawks fail to update AfriForum on whether an investigation has been carried out or not, the lobby group will institute court action for failing to do so.Bateman, through a media statement, said:"AfriForum's Private Prosecution Unit has given Lieutenant-General Godfrey Lebeya, the head of the Hawks, until 30 May to provide meaningful feedback on the status of the corruption investigation into Fikile Mbalula, the ANC's secretary-general.

The report found Sedgars Sport, a company that supplies sports uniforms for South Africa's Olympic athletes and officials, had partially paid for Mbalula's trip to Dubai between December 2016 and January 2017 while he was sports minister. At the time, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, the Public Protector, slammed Mbalula, saying it was"very irresponsible of him as he could not determine whether he could afford the excursion".

He added the allegations against Mbalula were simple and uncomplicated and should not have taken several law enforcement organisations this much time to conclude.
