Earlier this week, the council said it's waiting for a report-back from the police after CCTV footage from a neighbouring building was made available to them.
The commission's spokesperson Gail Smith says the investigation into the incident is still ongoing.
"The SAHRC has received a complaint from the Muslim Traditional Council. We're currently waiting for the police to finalise their investigation and to track down the perpetrators and when that's done we will assess the situation and then decide on a way forward," he said.
