She described her role as Public Protector as a non-political figure who "gives the people a voice while giving the traditional leader a conscience".
"I’m grateful for this opportunity and excited to take a journey back into the life I have lived, with the hope that what I share will have meaning for others," Madonsela said.
The memoir is set to be released next year.
