Leadership expert Mazwe Majola says the new Public Protector will have to build the nation's confidence.

"The appointment of the new Public Protector is very unfortunate because it is noble office. It is very important office and we need someone who will be very respected there," he said.

"Well-supported and accepted, very respected by the majority of political parties in Parliament but also by the South African general."
