With South Africa at the G20 presidency, expectations are high. The country needs to champion issues that affect not only its economy but also those of developing nations. However, leading such an influential group comes with challenges. Balancing diverse interests, negotiating priorities, and achieving consensus among member states are vital to making meaningful progress. South Africa's ability to navigate these complexities will determine its success during this pivotal year.

South Africa has officially taken over the presidency of the G20 for 2025, becoming the first nation from the African continent to hold this prestigious position. This event marks a crucial moment for South Africa and the entire African continent as it aims to facilitate discussions on pressing global economic issues. The G20 is a gathering of the world's largest economies, a platform that has facilitated key dialogue in times of economic crises such as the 2008 financial downturn and the COVID-19 pandemic. The G20 presidency allows South Africa to showcase its role on the global stage, advocating for the interests of developing nations and pushing for policies that address global inequalities. The presidency can bring an opportunity to highlight challenges specific to the African continent and can result in significant investments and collaborations that the region desperately needs. As South Africa hosts various meetings leading up to the summit, global attention will focus on how the country navigates its responsibilities as the representative of not just itself but of the entire African continent.
