  2. The #US will host the #G20 in 2026 & #Ramaphosa said he would have to hand over the rotating presidency to an "empty chair".

    The South African presidency on Saturday reiterated its rejection of a US offer to send the US charge d'affaires for the G20 handover.

    "The president will not hand over to a junior embassy official the presidency of the G20. It's a breach of protocol that is not going to be accommodated," presidency spox Vincent Magwenya said.

  3. His bold tone was a striking contrast to his subdued decorum during his visit to the White House in August, in which he endured #Trump repeating a #false claim that there was a genocide of white farmers in South Africa, brushing aside #Ramaphosa's efforts to correct his #facts.

    Trump said US ofcls would not attend the summit because of allegations, widely #discredited, that the host country's Black majority government persecutes its white minority.

  4. #US ofcls had indicated they would oppose any reference to it in the declaration.

    In opening remarks to the summit, #Ramaphosa said: "There's been overwhelming consensus & agreement that one of the other tasks we should undertake right at the beginning is to...adopt our declaration."

    "We should not allow anything to diminish the value, the stature & the impact of the first African #G20 presidency," he said.

  5. The declaration, which uses language DC opposes, "can't be renegotiated," South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's spox told reporters, reflecting strains between Pretoria, #G20 nations & the #Trump admin over the event.

    "We had the entire year of working towards this adoption & the past week has been quite intense," the spox said.

    #Ramaphosa, host of this weekend's gathering of G20 leaders, had earlier said there was "overwhelming consensus" for a summit declaration.

  6. "#Ungleichheit sei kein Naturgesetz, sondern Folge politischer Weichenstellungen, schreibt ein Expertengremium unter Stiglitz’ Leitung in einem Bericht, der dem SPIEGEL vorab vorliegt. Der südafrikanische Präsident Cyril #Ramaphosa hat den »Außerordentlichen Ausschuss unabhängiger Expertinnen und Experten für globale Ungleichheit« einberufen – aus Anlass der südafrikanischen #G20-Präsidentschaft. Am Dienstag soll ihm der Bericht überreicht werden und dann zum Thema beim nächsten G20-Gipfeltreffen der Staats- und Regierungschefs Ende November werden. […]

    »Eine Welt, die eine immer größer werdende Ungleichheit toleriert, kann nicht auf dauerhaften Frieden, Wohlstand oder Nachhaltigkeit hoffen«, schreiben die Wissenschaftler. »Angesichts der Schwere dieses Problems ist eine internationale Reaktion dringend erforderlich.«

    #Stiglitz, der an der US-Universität Columbia lehrt, fordert die Gründung eines Gremiums, das globale Entwicklungen systematisch erheben und Politikwirkungen prüfen soll. Dieses International Panel on Inequality (#IPI) soll nach dem Vorbild des Klimarats der Vereinten Nationen (#IPCC) aufgesetzt werden."

  8. …Despite his conciliatory nature, however, even #Ramaphosa wasn't able to hide his
    frustration after 59 #white #Afrikaans South Africans who were granted *#refugee* status by the #Trump admin arrived in the #US last week.

    Ramaphosa said given that there is no persecution of the minority group, the #Afrikaners who left for the US were simply white people who didn't want to live under #Black majority rule.

  11. 「Ramaphosa assures Jewish community Pretoria won’t sever ties with Israel, but condemns Gaza ‘genocide’

    #Jewish community leaders have said that President #Ramaphosa has reassured them that Pretoria does not intend severing diplomatic ties with #Israel.

    In a meeting with the community leaders, Ramaphosa also denounced anti-Semitic behaviour towards Jewish people in #SouthAfrica — “including the boycott of Jewish-owned businesses” — as well as #Islamophobia. He also condemned #Hamas for its attack on Israel on 7 October and demanded it return the Israeli hostages it took in that attack and is still holding.

    Leaders of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (#SAJBD) and SA Zionist Federation (#SAZF) said after meeting Ramaphosa on Wednesday that he “re-iterated #Dirco’s public position that there was no intention to sever diplomatic ties between Israel and South Africa.”

    This position appeared to contradict the #ANC support of a resolution passed in Parliament last month calling on Pretoria to sever relations with Israel because of its bombardment of #Gaza. The government had indicated already that it regarded this resolution as purely advisory and was not obliged to implement it. But the SAJBD’s statement was the clearest sign that it does not intend doing so.

    [...]

    In his statement, Ramaphosa strongly condemned the “#genocide” which he said was being inflicted on the Palestine people in Gaza and called for an immediate humanitarian #ceasefire. 」

  12. 「How Koko's case crumbled: Cop details lack of resources while VIP protection budget balloons

    [...]

    While the state's inability to present its case against #Koko and his co-accused within a year of their arrest has provided fuel for his conspiracy claims against the #NPA, they have also sharply revealed the impact of budget cuts and protracted financial bureaucracy on the administration of justice.

    This is particularly hard to swallow when contrasted with the ease of government spending on VIP protection for President Cyril #Ramaphosa and his high-level cohorts in government.

    The Institute of Security Studies previously pointed out that the budget for this protection – which is available to only 200 people – is 74% of the total budget allocated to the NPA and 167% of the #Hawks budget. 」
