Introducing South Africa’s G20 Signature Story!

South Africa’s G20 values are woven into our story, brought to life through three interconnected pillars – Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability – that define our vision as president of the G20 in 2025.

It is with the spirit of Ubuntu that South Africa approaches its Presidency of G20. This African philosophy emphasises the interconnectedness of individuals within a broader communal, societal, environmental and spiritual context.

Ubuntu is often translated as “I am because we are” or “I am because you are”. This guiding principle will shape South Africa’s approach as it seeks collective solutions to pressing global collective economic and financial challenges.
