Delivering a wide-ranging national address on Sunday night, he defended South Africa\u2019s handling of the G20 Presidency and warned that misinformation from local and international groups was undermining the country\u2019s standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said he wished to speak about \u201cthe way South Africa led and managed the G20 process\u201d, expressing \u201cprofound gratitude\u201d to citizens for supporting the country\u2019s role throughout the year-long presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He reminded the public that when South Africa launched its G20 Presidency last year, he pledged that it \u201cmust be the People\u2019s G20\u201d and \u201ccannot belong just to the leaders, but to the millions of people who have a stake in the discussions and decisions of the G20.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year marked the first time a G20 Summit had been held on African soil. Ramaphosa said South Africa was \u201chumbled to have been that one country on the African continent to host the summit and represent the 1.4 billion people who live on our continent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-warmth-and-hospitality-praised\">Warmth and hospitality praised<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Delegates from across the world reportedly commented on the reception they received in South Africa, Ramaphosa said in his speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delegates from Japan and France also praised the country, with one Japanese representative saying: \u201cYour security guards smile while being vigilant. Your drivers share stories while navigating\u2026 Everyone &#8211; from the protocol officers to the coffee vendors &#8211; treats us like welcomed family, not foreign dignitaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-south-africa-slams-trump-s-g20-2026-ban-as-punitive-retaliation\">READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/south-africa-slams-trumps-g20-2026-ban-as-punitive-retaliation\/\">South Africa slams Trump\u2019s G20 2026 ban as \u2018punitive\u2019 retaliation<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A French delegate remarked: \u201cWe came to discuss economic frameworks. But what we&#8217;ll remember is how your people made us feel. That&#8217;s not soft power &#8211; that&#8217;s real power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World leaders also shared similar sentiments online. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: \u201cThanks to the wonderful people of South Africa and the government of South Africa for organising the summit.\u201d IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva praised the country\u2019s \u201cincredible hospitality\u201d. Germany\u2019s Chancellor Friedrich Merz thanked South Africa for its \u201cambitious presidency in these turbulent times.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-focus-on-africa-and-inequality\">Focus on Africa and Inequality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramaphosa said Africa\u2019s growth and development was placed \u201cat the heart of the G20\u2019s agenda\u201d, particularly as global conflicts, climate change and economic instability continue to affect vulnerable nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted progress at home, saying unemployment had fallen and public finances were improving. Quoting businessman Adi Enthoven, he said that \u201cafter a decade of decline, South Africa has turned the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GBVF were recently classified as a \u201cnational disaster\u201d, which he said would strengthen efforts to tackle the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The G20 Leaders\u2019 Declaration, he said, demonstrated that \u201cthe spirit of multilateral cooperation is alive and strong.\u201d He highlighted agreements on debt relief mechanisms, increased climate funding, and beneficiation of critical minerals. He emphasised that these commitments were \u201cjust the beginning\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Africa also commissioned the work of the G20 Extraordinary Committee on Global Inequality, which produced the first G20 report on the subject. Countries agreed to explore establishing an International Panel on Inequality, similar to the IPCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tension-with-the-united-states\">Tension With the United States<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The President addressed the United States\u2019 absence from the Leaders\u2019 Summit, calling it \u201cregrettable\u201d and criticising the \u201cbaseless and false allegations\u201d cited by the US for its non-participation, including claims of \u201cgenocide against Afrikaners\u201d and land confiscation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said these were \u201cblatant misinformation\u201d and warned that those spreading such claims were \u201cendangering and undermining South Africa\u2019s national interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramaphosa insisted that South Africa would remain \u201ca full, active and constructive member of the G20\u201d, adding that the country offers the US \u201cnothing but goodwill and friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Ramaphosa declared gender-based violence a national disaster, defended South Africa&#8217;s G20 presidency, and
