ActionSA says South Africa’s G20 presidency has been filled with empty rhetoric

# ActionSA says the G20 presidency could have been South Africa’s moment of redemption, but instead, it’s become a symbol of how little has changed. The country is getting ready to host leaders at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg this weekend. ActionSA says the country’s G20 presidency carried slogans of solidarity, equality, sustainability, yet society still bears the scars of inequality, unemployment, lack of opportunity, and growing disaffection. It adds that president Cyril Ramaphosa had the chance to lead a renewal, but failed.
