Media waited outside the office for the arrival of former Hawks head Berning Ntlemeza, who has been told by Police minister Fikile Mbalula to vacate his office.


Ntlemeza reportedly said he is not going anywhere and will challenge the North Gauteng High Court ruling that his appointment was irregular and unlawful.


Mbalula appointed Yolisa Matakata to take over the reins in an acting capacity.


Mulaudzi told the media that everyone expected some sort of showdown Tuesday morning.


"We can safely say it is business as usual here at the Hawks," said Mulaudzi.


Mulaudzi confirmed that Ntlemeza is on leave until Monday.


"That is a matter that will be dealt with between himself and the Minister of Police."
