South Africa has moved to settle mounting speculation around its future role in the G20, with President Cyril Ramaphosa confirming that the country will continue participating as a full member despite vocal criticism from US President Donald Trump.
The reassurance follows a turbulent week in global diplomacy and comes shortly after South Africa wrapped up its year-long presidency of the forum.
In a televised address last night, Ramaphosa emphasised that South Africa's position in the group has never been up for negotiation.
