US ready to give Poland its 'rightful' 620 spot while sidelining SA
Cape Times
|December 05, 2025
THE US's intention to form a “New G20” includes a plan to invite Poland as a new member and exclude South Africa from the 2026 summit.
In the statement on Wednesday night, US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stated that: “South Africa entered the post-Cold War era with strong institutions, excellent infrastructure, and global goodwill. It possessed many of the world’s most valuable resources, some of the best agricultural land on the planet, and was located around one of the world’s key trading routes.
"And in Nelson Mandela, South Africa had a leader who understood that reconciliation and private sector-driven economic growth were the only path to a nation where every citizen could prosper. Sadly, Mandela's successors have replaced reconciliation with redistributionist policies”.
Rubio further criticised the current ANC-led government, saying it has turned its back on just about every ideal that Mandela once stood for.
