Madonsela Fights for Public Access to Nkandla Report

Four ministers (Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi, Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele and Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa) made an urgent application to the North Gauteng High Court to stop Ms Madonsela from releasing the report based on compromising Zuma's security. Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says a court bid to delay the release of her provisional report on the "Nkandlagate" scandal is "unlawful, unconstitutional and violates the independence of her office&". Madonsela’s office said granting government extra time to respond would be an injustitice to those affected or implicated by the report -- in particular, those against whom she has made adverse findings.
