President Jacob Zuma’s office has lodged a complaint with the public protector’s office over leaked audio recordings of his interview with former public protector Thuli Madonsela.

This after the audio recording of Zuma and Madonsela’s interview on state capture was made public.

Madonsela’s report was released after a court order and the recordings were apparently leaked to eNCA.

“The Presidency has sought clarity from the office of the public protector on the policy of the institution regarding the release of audio recordings of interviews conducted during the course of investigations,” spokesperson Bongani Ngqulunga said. – News24
