text: # President of the Republic of South Africa v M&G Media
  
  President of the Republic of South Africa and Others v M & G Media Ltd is an important case in South African administrative law. It concerned a report by two senior judges who were asked by the President of the Republic to visit Zimbabwe shortly before its presidential election in 2002. "Surprisingly," instead of confirming an order to release the report, a majority of the Constitutional Court resorted to section 80 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) and remitted the matter to the High Court for it to examine the report in secret and make a determination.
