The Civil 20 South Africa Summit has called for the cancellation of debt of developing countries as it wrapped up its three-day gathering in Benoni in Ekurhuleni on Gautengs East Rand.
Over 500 civil society activists and leaders met since Wednesday to discuss ways to reinforce civil societys role in tackling global inequality.
C20 Chairperson, Thulani Tshefuta says, "We are actually making a bold claim and a call for the cancellation of debt of developing countries. And that cancellation on the other side is just posed by a call for measures that liberate developing economies from having to service debt at the expense of social services like education and health."
