Deputy Minister in the Presidency Kenny Morolong added that South Africa cheering the G20 will not only mark a historic milestone; it'll mark a pivotal opportunity to emphasise the voice of the global south, and reshape global co-operation in a way that is more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable.
'As the first African country to cheer the G20, we are conscious of the trust placed on us, not only by our G20 members, but by the broader international community, looking at this forum for leadership in times of uncertainty,' noted Morolong.

Meta investors, Zuckerberg to square off at $8bn trial over 'privacy violations'
The non-jury trial in Wilmington, Delaware, is scheduled to last eight days. It will mostly focus on decade-old events and board meetings to determine how Facebook leaders implemented the 2012 agreement. While the trial will cover long-ago policies, it comes as privacy concerns continue to dog Meta, which is under scrutiny for its training of AI models. The company says it has invested billions of dollars since 2019 in its programme to safeguard users' privacy. Jason Kint, the head of Digital Content Next, a trade group for content providers, said the case will fill in details about what the board knew — and when — regarding the data of users, who now total more than 3-billion daily across Meta's platforms. 'There's an argument we can't avoid Facebook and Instagram in our lives,' he said. 'Can we trust Mark Zuckerberg?' MOST DIFFICULT CLAIMS Two years ago, the defendants sought to dismiss the case before trial, which the judge declined. 'This is a case involving alleged wrongdoing on a truly colossal scale,' said Travis Laster, the judge handling the case at the time. The trial in the Court of Chancery will be overseen by Kathaleen McCormick. The plaintiffs, individual investors and union pension funds including California's State Teachers' Retirement System, must prove what is often described as the most difficult claim in corporate law — showing that directors failed in their duty of oversight. Legal experts said it appears to be the first trial on such a claim. Zuckerberg and Sandberg are alleged to have knowingly caused the company to violate the law. While Delaware law protects directors and officers for bad business decisions, it does not protect them from illegal ones, even if they are profitable. Defendants said in court filings that plaintiffs cannot deliver the evidence. The shareholders in pretrial court papers said they can prove that after the 2012 agreement, Facebook continued deceptive privacy practices, at the direction of Zuckerberg. The defendants said the evidence will show that the company built a team to oversee privacy and hired an outside compliance firm and that Facebook was a victim of Cambridge Analytica's 'studied deceit'. In addition to the central privacy claims, plaintiffs also allege that when Zuckerberg could see that the Cambridge Analytica scandal was about to break and send company stock lower, he was motivated to offload his stock and reaped at least $1bn (R17.86bn) in profit. Defendants said evidence will show he used a stock-trading plan that can protect against insider-trading allegations. They also said the motivation was to benefit his charitable pursuits.

‘I am a vessel for the viewers': MaBlerh on his return to ‘RHOD'
The highly anticipated reunion of The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) season 5 finally aired, and the internet is still abuzz, from Minenhle "Minnie" Ntuli physically assaulting co-star Londie London to host Mthokozisi "MaBlerh" Cele aiming to diverge from the not-so-peaceful reunions in previous seasons. The reunion sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with fans and viewers taking to Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. While some praised the host for providing closure and accountability, others were left disappointed, frustrated and wished for him not to return. "The reunion was flat: no Minnie, no Nonku, no MaBlerh and these ladies decided to bully Precious, mocking her business and laughing, speaking in vernac, knowing she will not hear [understand] them?" tweeted one user. The reunion was flat, no Minnie no Nonku oMablerh and these ladies decided to bully Precious? Mocking her business and laughing speaking in vernac knowing she will not hear them? NA FAM but I didn't expect anything This is the worst re-union ever! #BORED #RHODurbanS5 — Kello (@Kello_Lello) July 4, 2025 If you're friends with someone like Q niyafana. Why is MaBlurg arguing with the twins? They said she made them feel that way with her words. What a horrible host, why didn't he say this when Londie said she won't apologise? #RHODS5 — Alice Lumpa Lenshina (@ntwanie) July 11, 2025 Also, MaBleh did incredibly well in the second part of the reunion. Really proud of how he encouraged expressions, affirmed Jojo, held the twins accountable and spoke up for Londiwe. A ton of integrity. Vital, for a host. #RHOD #RHODurban — Lu 🦍🖤 (@Nolundi_M) July 11, 2025 We chatted with MaBlerh on his experience of the recently aired reality show reunion and what it was like to relive the drama and tension of the show. When you received the news that you'll be hosting The Real Housewives of Durban again, what was your reaction? I was definitely excited. I enjoy doing this show. I looked forward to seeing the ladies, as I only see and interact with them once a year. You've been staunch about the ladies being held accountable. How did you ensure each of them would be accountable at the reunion? I am a vessel for the viewers. It is the viewers who are always baying for the ladies to account for their actions and words. I merely facilitate that process by asking relevant questions. What are your thoughts on what unfurled in season 5 compared to season 4 of RHOD? Season 5 took me by surprise. I didn't expect the drama to reach the level that it did. I thought the new ladies were going to take some time and settle in. Little did I know. What shocked you the most this season? I honestly did not expect the drama between Minnie and Londie to escalate to the level that we saw. With the pressure that the cast experienced about what they wear, do you think the members embodied the expectations of the show this season? It is always weird to me when the conversation about classism and opulence creeps up on Real Housewives in South Africa. The whole premise of the show is rooted in glamour and opulence around the world. We tune in to see expensive houses, cars, jewellery, trips, lunches, etc. The clothes are part of that expected opulence.
