South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has told G20 foreign ministers that a commitment to multilateralism and international law is vital to solving global crises.

His comments follow growing concern about the Trump administration's "America First" policy, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio boycotting the meeting and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying he will not attend next week's gathering of G20 finance ministers.

Rubio said he would not "coddle anti-Americanism", while Bessent said he had other commitments in Washington.

South Africa is the first African state to lead the G20, hoping to advance the interests of developing nations in talks with the world's richest states.

The G20 consists of 19 countries, along with the African Union (AU) and European Union (EU), and makes up more than 80% of the global economy and two-thirds of the world population.

The foreign ministers of China, Russia, France and the UK are among those attending the meeting in Johannesburg, while the US is represented by the deputy chief of mission at its South African embassy.

In his opening address, Ramaphosa said that an "already fragile global coexistence" was threatened by rising intolerance, conflicts and climate change.

"Yet there is a lack of consensus among major powers, including in the G20, on how to respond to these issues of global significance," the South African president said.

"It is critical that the principles of the UN Charter, multilateralism and international law should remain at the centre of all our endeavour," he added.

South Africa holds the G20 presidency until November 2025, when it is expected to hand it over to the US.

Relations between the two countries have become increasingly strained since President Donald Trump took office in January, raising questions about how much South Africa can achieve during its presidency.

Trump has cut aid to the country, accusing it of "unjust and immoral practices" against the white minority Afrikaner community and by filing a genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in December 2023.

His decision was followed by Rubio saying he would not attend the meeting of foreign ministers because South Africa was "doing very bad things", using the G20 "to promote 'solidarity, equality, & sustainability.' In other words: DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] and climate change".

In a post on X, he added: "My job is to advance America's national interests, not waste taxpayer money or coddle anti-Americanism."

I hope you will stand as her lawyer in court now that her mom has been arrested because of their recent visit to south Africa

Xiaohei:
Then you shouldn’t have commented since you had nothing meaningful to say.

Mirasteel:
Their white masters at work.

JaceBlaze:

seppuku:
He is an olodo who doesnt not know how passports work so don't blame him.

seppuku:
SIster Chidinma.

Please continue to pepper these Sad Africans. They said you will not be able to come back to SA and here you are.

Stamped in by immigration no police, no home affairs, nothing.

Let those Olodo's continue to torment their lives. You are free to fly Nigeria, South Africa and the world.

Thank you for coming back to represent Nigeria.

We will always be proud of you.

As for Sad AFrians. NTOOOOHHH!

Golan007:
You can do better.

Golan007:
Have you shared it a million times?

Golan007:
I see, not something you are interested in sharing.

Golan007:
Can you state the identity fraud?

Golan007:
Pepper her for being Nigerian?

Iweakbro:
This is my troll account, nothing personal will be posted here. However, I could provide my payslip for the last 5 months. Game on.

Iweakbro:
Your defense minister denied the allegation. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businesslive.co.za/amp/bd/national/2025-01-30-angie-motshekga-denies-sandf-troops-in-drc-are-under-resourced/

They had guns but were ambushed and killed like rats.

You've got a job? Lol. Do some quick findings, that's Mediavine—an Adsense alternative that pays website owners better.

Hellisreal70:
SA are shameless.
Supporting Russia, condemning USA and Israel yet crying because USA stopped the aid they have been giving them.

Iweakbro:
I am aware of the coalition force, but SANDF was a baby's contribution In that fight. You said 2021, but now you have reversed it to 2013.

Bloody Liar. I thought you said they were defeated just by the SANDF in 2021. Short memory.

Were the SANDF having guns or not?

I am way different from the typical Nigerian that engages you. Here is just my monthly stipend from Mediavine. Not to talk of my other sources of income. So, who is hungry between me and you?

Peacecore:
They'll so much deal with your black asses

Iweakbro:
You are a dirty black South African liar.

After m23 was defeated in 2013 by the Congolese army and UN forces, they have been hiding and trying to regroup until 2021. SANDF never defeated or staged any reasonable blow on M23.

Pls, no ambiguous talks... I'd like you to state how SANDF defeated M23 in 2021 with suitable proof.
The weaklings had guns but were killed like chickens a few days ago.

Iweakbro:
Peacekeeping mission doesn't mean they were not deployed with hardware or should I show you pictures? Weak hell of soldiers.

You were the same guy lingering Nigerians for drug-related crimes until I debunked your lies with SAPS crime statistics.

All your lies on the forum can only be fed to Nigerians who don't have extensive knowledge.

Iweakbro:
SANDF that was killed like chickens by M23? Lol

Blakjewelry:
Instead of viewing them as enemy of state why not look into the concern raised. I think the SA government should genuinely look in issues raised by afriforum with a view of addressing some of the challenges and throwing out the trash, I think that will solve some of the problem.
