She is accused of receiving R1.7 million in kickbacks in exchange for tenders when she was the defence minister.
On Friday, the court was set to receive an update on submissions Mapisa-Nqakula made to Batohi’s office, but State prosecutor Paul Louw addressed Judge Papi Mosopa on the process.
Mosopa: "That process is not yet finalised?"
Louw: "My lord, I do not know."
Mosopa: "Are you not being kept abreast?
Louw: "What I have been told is that the decision will be imminent next week."
