 In June 2009 the NPA informed SALC that the South African authorities – the NPA and the South African Police Service (SAPS) – had taken the decision not to investigate the allegations contained in the dossier.SALC and the Zimbabwe Exiles Forum (ZEF) launched review proceedings in the North Gauteng High Court, requesting the court to review and set aside the decision not to investigate on the basis that the authorities had failed to properly consider SALC's request and that by refusing to investigate they were not giving effect to their obligations under the ICC Act and international criminal law.The case was heard from 26–29 March 2012 at the North Gauteng High Court, presided over by Judge Hans Fabricius.
