It still remains unclear which state department is holding up the investigation into the Nkandlagate scandal but Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's office said on Tuesday it plans to release a preliminary report at the end of this month.
The Public Protector office confirmed over the weekend that Madonsela was still awaiting crucial documents from government before she wraps up her investigation into the Presidential homestead.
Government has spent more than R200 million on consultants and security upgrades to President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead, using taxpayer's money.
The Public Protector is remaining mum on which department has been keeping crucial documents from investigators and also won't say which documents are still outstanding.
Both the Presidency and the Department of Public Works have been fingered as the culprits by various media houses.
The Presidency has refused to comment on these allegations.
According to the Public Protector office’s Kgalalelo Masibi the report is expected to be released soon.
“The investigation is at an advanced stage the Public Protector hopes to release a provisional report by the end of April this year.”
Meanwhile the Justice Department's Special Investigation Unit (SIU) has failed to start their own investigation into the matter.
