Centre in Mahikeng on Thursday, 31 July 2025. The event will be led by the Regulator’s
Chairperson Adv. Pansy Tlakula and the North West Premier, Mr Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi.

These events are part of the Regulator’s Provincial Roadshows aimed at promoting human
rights and empowering the community with information for them to exercise their right to
privacy and their right of access to information.
Following the Dikopano, a stakeholder engagement session will be conducted to engage with
various public and private bodies who are to implement and comply with Protection of Personal
Information Act (POPIA) and Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) on a regular basis.

two legislation in their respective organisations or departments. During the week the Regulator
will conduct a series of public activations including school activations in and around the Signal
Hill area and the Mahikeng at large to promote the Regulator’s visit to the province.
