Izimbizos, which are government meetings with communities, have been used to strengthen relations with communities. Although these meetings provided opportunities for communities to communicate directly with government, it did not allow for government to communicate with communities, the progress of implementing concerns raised at Izimbizos. The lack of a proper feedback loop is a concern the SOPS report highlighted. This does not allow communities to track the progress or implementation of concerns they raised at izimbizos. Taking into consideration that Government hosted Izimbizos since 2000, when it was adopted by Cabinet, it does pose a problem for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of decisions taken at forums like Izimbizos.
