South Africa is set to host the G20 summit at the end of November 2025 — a high-profile international gathering meant to strengthen global cooperation. But with costs expected to exceed R690 million, and four major economies withdrawing from the event thus far, many South Africans are asking: Is this still a sensible use of public funds?
At a time when the country is facing urgent challenges in education, energy, and public service delivery, the government’s decision to move forward with such an expensive summit deserves public scrutiny. Should taxpayers foot the bill for an event that may no longer deliver the intended prestige or economic benefit?
