She will interface with government leaders and other stakeholders on Thursday at the King David Hotel in East London before engaging with ordinary people at Sweetwaters Community Hall during a community outreach programme in Bhisho on Friday.
To date, the Public Protector has interacted with stakeholders and community members in eight provinces, political parties, women groupings and the South Africa National Editors' Forum.
The meeting with government leaders will take place as follows:
Date: Thursday, 8 September 2011

The outreach meeting will take place as follows:
Date: Friday, 9 September 2011
Venue: Sweetwaters Community Hall, Bhisho
Time: 10h00
Taking place under the theme "The Public Protector Dialogues with the Nation", the forums seek to solicit feedback on the work of the Public Protector and foster a common understanding of the institution's mandate and role.
They focus on the importance of implementing the Public Protector's remedial action. This is for purposes of ensuring administrative justice by organs of state in respect of service failure and ensuring accountability in the exercise of state power and control over public resources.
