G20 Summit | Safer City Plan was implemeted: Mosikili

The article is a transcript from SABC News coverage of day two of the G20 Leaders Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, hosted by the channel. Anchors Onati Pagasha and Bongi Wazwan discuss ongoing and upcoming sessions, including a closed meeting on critical minerals, decent work, and artificial intelligence. They introduce guests Sophie and Resh, who analyze the G20 declaration, highlighting its ambiguous wording on future presidencies: committing to U.S. leadership in 2026 while scheduling meetings in the UK (2027) and South Korea (2028), possibly to ensure continuity amid potential U.S. challenges under a new administration. Sophie notes efforts to refocus the G20's broad agenda, referencing a report on its 20-year review and a presentation by former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo on resetting African development negotiations, particularly debt cancellation. The broadcast shifts to on-site reporter Calvin Zuza at the Nasrec Centre, interviewing Lieutenant General Tebogo Musiki, chairperson of the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NatJoints). Musiki reports on robust security with over 3,000 officers deployed, confirming no major incidents at the venue despite yesterday's protests by MK Party and Operation Dudula members criticizing event costs—resulting in two arrests and the use of stun grenades to disperse crowds. He emphasizes adherence to the rule of law, ongoing national operations like Operation Shanela, minor arrests for theft and attempted hijacking, and efforts to counter social media misinformation via cyber crime teams. Musiki addresses criticisms of police responsiveness, affirming continuous policing nationwide, and announces plans for a future media briefing. Overall, the coverage underscores the summit's focus on global cooperation, African priorities, and South Africa's successful security management, with implications for G20 continuity and agenda refinement.
