The state is reviewing Friday's Malawian High Court judgement, which set aside the order to surrender the couple to South Africa for trial.
The South African government will decide on its next course of legal action against fugitive Pastor Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary.
The government will continue to work closely with Malawian authorities to ensure justice prevails.
Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi made the statement on Saturday. The Bushiris were granted bail in 2020 pending trial but failed to comply with bail conditions, leaving South Africa.
