Public Protector Thuli Madonsela has filed papers opposing an urgent application to prevent her from releasing the provisional report into President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead.

Her office says the papers were filed at the High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday afternoon.

This was in response to an application filed last Friday by organs of state within the security cluster.

The security cluster of ministries sought to interdict Madonsela from releasing her provisional report to affected, implicated, and interested parties for comment.

This followed a special request that it have access to the report ahead of all other parties to establish if its contents would compromise Zuma's security.

Attached is the affidavit from the Public Protector..
