Former Minister Malusi Gigaba says just because he resigned does not mean that he is guilty of the allegations against him.
Gigaba announced his resignation on Tuesday, less than two weeks after the public protector found that he violated the Constitution and the Executive Ethics Code by lying under oath.
The report from the PP also said that President Cyril Ramaphosa would have to take action against him by Wednesday.
Gigaba has been severely criticised for his role in granting citizenship to members of the controversial Gupta family, who are at the centre of state capture allegations.
The minister, whose resignation comes into effect on Wednesday, also made headlines after he tweeted that he was being blackmailed after someone had hacked into his phone and leaked a sex tape meant for his wife.
All manner of jokes and ridicule were thrown at Gigaba as the leaked tape went viral and landed on porn websites.
