JCPS cluster on decision to approach courts about preliminary report by Public Protector on Nkandla security upgrades
14 November 2013
Government has noted recent media reports pertaining to its decision to approach the courts to seek relief regarding its request for extension of the period within which to submit its response to the Public Protector’s provisional report on the security upgrades at the Nkandla residence of the President.
The Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Ministers decided to approach the court after the Public Protector did not grant the requested extension, which has always been regarded as reasonable.
