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,"[1] 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[2] (PAIA) and remitted the matter to the High Court for it to examine the report in secret and make a determination.
