President Cyril Ramaphosa receives the G20 Task Team Report on Inequality from Professor Joseph Stiglitz during an official handover ceremony at Tuynhuys in Cape Town, November 4, 2025.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has vowed to ensure that the issue of global inequality among nations is at the top of the agenda of the G20 Presidency meeting, taking place later this month in Johannesburg.
An Extraordinary Committee of Independent Experts led by the Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz handed over the report to Ramaphosa in Parliament at Tuynhuys on Tuesday.
Ramaphosa says the report provides very clear guidelines on how the G20 countries should address inequality in general, and especially in South Africa.
“Now with this report, we have clear actions that we will take as government, as well as society and at the global community to reduce inequalities. It is now up to us as the leaders of the G20 and the leaders of the world to demonstrate the necessary will and commitment – we will be making as we open our G20 summit in 18 days. We will be making a very clear call as we open the G20 Summit on what the world needs to do around inequalities,” adds Ramaphosa.
