ANC Youth League president Julius Malema feels his human rights are being undermined by media leaks from the police, SABC reported.
The broadcaster said Malema was considering approaching the public protector and the Human Rights Commission.
In an interview, Malema said he was concerned at "persistent leakages" from an unnamed source within the Hawks crime-fighting unit.
"There can't be leakages in an institution like the Hawks. It means people working there are not loyal to the internal processes," Malema said.
News reports have suggested that Malema would be charged upon his return from a friend's multimillion-rand wedding in Mauritius. The Sunday Independent reported that the Hawks had prima facie evidence of corruption related to the awarding of tenders to firms Malema had an interest in.
The reports said Malema would be arrested and brought before a court to answer allegations of fraud, corruption and money laundering.
On Monday, league spokesman Floyd Shivambu said there had never been any communication between Malema and the Hawks.

Malema is a demagogue of note, but not the only one.....Zuma as well to promess jobs right, centre and left...but for his cronies and family only.....
Mbeki another demagogue to promess Zimbabwe will improve with quiet diplomacy.......
The situation of poverty and third world dictatorships justify the appearance of Malemas, Zumas. Mbekis, etc. Should they have not existed, there would be Shivambus, Mantashes, Vavis, Cronins, etc, etc. to take their places.....
