The Office of the Public Protector says it will not immediately respond to the state abandoning its attempt to stop advocate Thuli Madonsela, from releasing her report into government spending on president Jacob Zuma's private residence at Nkandla.
Spokesperson, Oupa Segalwe, says they haven't yet read the documents and are still considering whether or not to convene a media briefing.
Sapa reports that Police Minister, Nathi Mthethwa, said in an affidavit that it would be academic to persist with the court application, as it had already secured the extension of time for which it had asked the court.
Madonsela's provisional report on security improvements to Zuma's residence was given to the state security cluster of ministries on the First of November.
The cluster filed an urgent application last Friday to prevent her from releasing the report.
Madonsela made public her court documents on Wednesday opposing the interdict, in which she said the state had made several attempts to stop her investigation.
