The South African government says it will not lobby other countries to boycott the US G20 after it decided to bar Pretoria from participating.
Instead, President Cyril Ramaphosas spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said SA would want all the G20 members to fully participate but make sure that the declaration made at the Leaders Summit in Johannesburg find resonance despite US President Donald Trumps misgivings.
Boycotting the US G20, Magwenya said, would be counterproductive and SA was not keen to see an entire G20 year being wasted simply because the country was not invited.
