Let us disuse the notion that one country is going to emerge as leader of the Global South, said Vincent Magwenya, spokesperson to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the sidelines of the G-20 summit, while stressing that what is important is does the Global South have a voice in multilateral platforms that are shaping not only the future, but the global financial architecture, and also going to shape global governance.
Mr. Magwenya termed the inclusion of the African Union (AU) in the G-20 at the just concluded summit a “right step in the right direction”. Stating that South Africa has been advocating including of the AU in G-20 on various fora, he stated, “This is the first step towards the kind of reforms we would like to see in various global multilateral platforms, including the United Nations Security Council.”
