Eight candidates interviewed for the position of Deputy Public Protector.
It became vacant when the current Public Protector Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka was appointed to head the office. This is the second time these interviews are conducted, after the process was abandoned in April this year.
Some have had previous stints in the office of the PP and believe that despite tight budget constraints, more can be done to make people aware about how the Public Protector’s office can ensure justice. “In addition to using technology, which I know the PP has done a lot with that, making office accessible by being able to lodge complaints via SMS, I do believe you still be able to go to communities directly. So, a very focused, rigorous outreach campaign is what one would contribute,” says Advocate Dinky Dube.
