South Africa G20 Summit: Johannesburg is gearing up to host the first-ever G20 leaders' summit on African soil, a milestone South Africa hopes will spotlight the continent’s priorities. But the leaders' summit is scheduled to begin on November 22 under the shadow of a US boycott, with Washington announcing it will not send any delegates after President Donald Trump accused South Africa of human rights abuses. Despite the tensions, preparations in the city have intensified, from infrastructure repairs to large-scale security rehearsals. At the G20 Social Summit, thousands of delegates and performers filled a vibrant venue as South African leaders urged world powers to hear grassroots voices. As global leaders arrive this weekend, South Africa insists the US absence is not a snub and remains committed to delivering a strong, Africa-focused summit.
