Zimbabwe's government has sought diplomatic immunity for President Robert Mugabe's wife in the assault case against her in South Africa.
South Africa's police ministry said Grace Mugabe is still in South Africa, contradicting earlier reports that she had returned to Zimbabwe.
A 20 year old South African model has accused Mrs Mugabe of assaulting her at a hotel in Johannesburg on Sunday.
Police expected 52 year old Mrs Mugabe to turn herself in on Tuesday, but she did not.
Zimbabwe's government had invoked diplomatic immunity cover for her.
However, South Africa still wanted to make sure that she was processed through the legal system.
It said discussions were taking place with Mrs Mugabe's lawyers and the Zimbabwean High Commission over the issue.
Appearing before a parliamentary committee earlier, South Africa's acting police chief said that Mrs Mugabe must go to court.
