South Africa convenes second G20 Sherpa Meeting:

Wednesday, April 2, 2025

South Africa’s Group of 20 (G20) Sherpa, Zane Dangor, will chair the second meeting of the G20 Sherpas, which will be held virtually on 3 and 4 April 2025. 

The meeting will focus on the theme:  “Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability”.

The first G20 Sherpa Meeting under South Africa’s Presidency took place in December 2024 in Sandton, Johannesburg.
Sherpas are the personal representatives of the G20 leaders, while Working Groups are made up of representatives from member countries’ Ministries. 

Sherpas coordinate the G20 process, while Working Groups analyse and discuss issues relevant to the intergovernmental forum. 
At the meeting in December, Dangor described the session as “very successful” and “robust”.

“We’ve just completed the first Sherpa meetings, so it’s day two of plenty. It was a very successful Sherpa meeting. The discussions were robust but very inclusive,” he said at the time.

Museum Africa: The Memory of the Market

Long before it was a sanctuary for artifacts, this building was the Johannesburg Municipal Fruit and Vegetable Market, completed in 1913. At the time, it was an architectural marvel of the industrial age, featuring a massive, vaulted roof supported by reinforced concrete and steel—a design intended to keep the produce cool in the biting Highveld sun. The site was chosen for its proximity to the railway lines, allowing fresh goods from across Southern Africa to be funneled directly into the heart of the city. For decades, it was a place of frantic, multi-racial commerce where the air was thick with the smell of citrus and the shouts of auctioneers. In 1994—the same year South Africa held its first democratic elections—the market was transformed into Museum Africa, symbolically turning a site of physical sustenance into one of intellectual and historical nourishment.
