All systems go for G20 Summit in Johannesburg

All systems go for G20 Summit in Johannesburg

Executive Summary

Johannesburg is undergoing a comprehensive spring clean in preparation for the G20 summit next week, which will host around 30 foreign leaders and their support staff. City teams are filling potholes, planting flowers, pruning trees, and trimming verges, with eNCA reporter Aviwe Mtila joining the efforts on the ground. This beautification drive coincides with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa receiving the G20 Inequality Committee's report from Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz in Cape Town. The cleanup aims to restore the city's shine amid the high-profile international gathering and related diplomatic tensions.
