The security cluster of ministers will pay Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's legal costs, the SABC reported.
The public broadcaster said the State volunteered to pay the cost at the High Court in Pretoria.
The cluster filed an urgent application in the High Court in Pretoria last week to prevent Madonsela from releasing her report on her probe into the R206 million upgrade at President Jacob Zuma's private Nkandla homestead in KwaZulu-Natal.
On Thursday, the ministers filed an affidavit in which they said they would abandon their action opposing the release of the report.
The ministers said it would be academic to persist with the court action as they had already secured the extension of time they had wanted.
