G20 South Africa 2025: A Defining Moment for the Nation and the Continent
South Africa is preparing to welcome the world in 2025 as it assumes (South Africa assumed the G20 Presidency from December 1, 2024, to November 2025) the presidency and hosts the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, a moment of national pride and continental significance. This milestone places South Africa, and by extension Africa, at the centre of global dialogue on economic growth, sustainable development, climate resilience, digital transformation, and multilateral cooperation. In the words of South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile, South Africa's goal is to promote mutually beneficial economic growth, create jobs and advance sustainable development for its partner nations. The Group of Twenty, commonly known as the G20, is the world's premier forum for economic cooperation. Representing more than 85% of global GDP, over 75% of world trade, and two-thirds of the planet's population, the G20 convenes the most powerful economies to address pressing global challenges. As the only African founding member of the G20, South Africa's presidency could not be more timely or symbolic. At a time when the world is redefining recovery and resilience in the wake of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and climate disasters, South Africa brings a grounded, inclusive voice to the table, one that reflects the aspirations of the Global South and the urgent developmental needs of the African continent. The G20 countries' ability to respond collectively to mounting challenges facing the multilateral system will determine both the speed of global recovery and the future of sustainable development. Under the banner of 'inclusive growth for a just world,' South Africa's leadership is expected to spotlight issues such as financing for sustainable infrastructure, the global energy transition, youth employment, food security, digital inclusion, and equitable access to global markets. These are not only global concerns, but they are also everyday realities for millions across Africa. The Summit will attract heads of state, finance ministers, central bank governors, and global institutions like the UN, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund. Beyond political leadership, the G20 also engages civil society, youth, women, labour, business, and think tanks through structured engagement groups—offering platforms for a wider range of voices to shape global policy. Johannesburg, as host city, will become a strategic hub of diplomacy, business exchange, and cultural showcase. While the summit itself is a high-level, closed-door affair, South Africans can expect a wave of public engagement, community-driven programmes, investment conversations, and national pride as the event draws near. 'The G20 presidency is a powerful opportunity for South Africa to place Africa's priorities at the heart of global decision-making. We are committed to driving an inclusive agenda that ensures no country, and no person, is left behind.' – President Cyril Ramaphosa. For the South African government, this is more than ceremonial.

'We cannot proceed as if it's business as usual' – Ramaphosa slams ANC municipalities over poor service delivery
ANC leader, Cyril Ramaphosa has called on all ANC-lee municipalities to address services delivery challenges. Image: X/ANC ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa says ANC-led municipalities cannot operate as they wish while citizens continue to endure poor service delivery. He said that ANC-run municipalities must take urgent action to fix these issues. Ramaphosa made the remarks following the party's four-day National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the Germiston Civic Centre on Monday. Addressing NEC members, Ramaphosa said they were reminded that local government is the epicentre of infrastructure decline and poor service delivery. 'We agreed that we will show greater resolve and urgency in setting municipalities on a new path,' he said. 'The energy and determination being seen in cleaning up and fixing infrastructure in the eThekwini Metro should be translated into a national movement that must sweep through every town in our country. 'Our cities and towns - and specifically the communities on the ground - must feel and see that we are not going to allow municipalities to do as they wish while citizens endure the misery of poor service delivery.' Ramaphosa acknowledged that ANC-led municipalities are struggling to deliver services. Many municipalities across the country face significant challenges with service delivery, including potholes, water and electricity shortages, poor infrastructure development, inadequate sanitation, and corruption. His comments come as the country gears up for the upcoming 2026 local government elections. 'The ANC branch remains the most important link with our people. This means that each and every one of us must ensure that we build strong activist branches that can represent the needs and aspirations of local communities,' he said. Ramaphosa said a key part of the ANC's renewal is building activist branches that are active in communities, engaging with local government and helping to resolve service delivery challenges. He added that the ANC's election strategy workshop had called for the establishment of a 'service delivery war room' in every province and municipality. 'This is so we are able to build a responsive, people-centred and sustainable culture of dealing with the issues in all local municipalities, in line with our enduring commitment to build a better life for all,' he said. 'The marching order to all ANC-run municipalities and ward councillors is that we cannot proceed as if it continues to be business as usual.' He said extraordinary measures are needed to address local government challenges. The NEC will hold a special session in the coming weeks to focus more attention on these issues, he said. 'Preparations for the local government election campaign are underway. In April, we held our election strategy workshop.' 'Work is underway throughout the country to set up our election structures and appoint our election management. We call on all NEC members to ensure we give attention to the establishment of these election structures and ensure our most seasoned and experienced campaign managers are appointed to help with the campaign,' Ramaphosa added. IOL News previously reported that Ramaphosa said the party is still struggling to understand the decision by the South African Communist Party (SACP) to contest the 2026 local government elections independently and not to back the ANC at the polls. 'We recognise that the South African Communist Party is an independent political organisation that has the right to contest elections as it sees fit,' he said. He added that the ANC has no intention of interfering in the SACP's decision. 'As we have indicated to the South African Communist Party, our ally, we disagree with the decision. 'We believe that this decision has fundamental implications for the strategy and programme of the National Democratic Revolution and the alliance that has led the struggle for liberation in our country since the 1920s. 'While the alliance between the SACP and the ANC has spanned the better part of a century, this is not about the past. It is not about nostalgia,' Ramaphosa said. He expressed concern that the SACP contesting elections independently would 'significantly weaken the forces for national democratic change'. His comments follow remarks made by SACP general secretary Solly Mapaila, who said the party's plans to contest the 2029 general elections independently are on track. Speaking at the SACP's 104th birthday celebration at KwaDlangezwa Community Hall outside eMpangeni, KwaZulu-Natal, on Sunday, Mapaila said the SACP's 2022 congress had resolved that it should contest elections. 'The problem here is that we meet and agree on something, but we don't see the implementation of what we agreed upon as the alliance. I'm sick and tired of attending meaningless meetings,' he said.

The Personal View: The Ceasefire That Isn't - August's Rising Risk
In my July article, 'Fragile Highs – July Is Vulnerable', I explicitly warned that what was being publicly described as a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was, in reality, a fragile pause, not a sustainable peace. Lifting the illusory curtain of calm revealed, as warned, that while direct conflict has been avoided, indirect hostilities have intensified. Military operations resumed across Gaza and Syria, reflecting a regional strategy of containment and escalation. Both flashpoints highlight ongoing efforts to counter regional influence through indirect conflict dynamics, without triggering confrontation. Since April, The Personal View has issued multiple warnings, forecasting geopolitical instability through June and July: Tension between Iran and Israel The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war Renewed US-China friction Cyber and energy vulnerabilities That outlook is now materialising. Such periods don't just bring volatility; they cause gridlock. Delays, diplomatic bottlenecks, and miscommunication dominate. For governments and institutions, this is dangerous: decision fatigue and rising escalation risk. Frustration will define August. For geopolitical actors, from Washington and Tehran to Moscow, Brussels, and Beijing, this is a month of diminishing patience and rising constraints. Tactical frustration risks strategic overreach. While history never repeats perfectly, past moments of institutional strain offer sobering lessons: The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, brinkmanship and communication breakdown The 1951 Korean War escalation, regional conflict turned Cold War flashpoint WWII's turning points, miscalculations that irreversibly shifted the global order Not inevitable, each triggered by distrust, delay, and frustration. Today carries similar hallmarks. What we are witnessing is not resolution, it is redirection. The Iran–Israel conflict hasn't ended; it has simply shifted form. Beneath the surface, tensions remain elevated. August brings rising risk. Investors should position accordingly: Hedge exposures Reduce fragility Prepare for volatility spikes Frustration fuels miscalculation. And August is built for both.
