More Than A Story
SPECIAL: The Road to G20 JHB 2025
In November 2025, Johannesburg will host the first G20 Summit ever held on African soil. This episode traces the remarkable story behind that moment. From South Africa’s long journey out of apartheid isolation to Africa’s decades-long struggle for global representation, we follow the arc that led the world’s most powerful economies to gather in the heart of Gauteng.
We explore how the G20 was born out of crisis, how it evolved into a central forum of global governance, and why its future now depends on the rising influence of the Global South. As global tensions reshape international politics, Johannesburg becomes more than a venue, it becomes a symbol of a world undergoing profound change.
This is the story of power, history, and the shifting balance of global influence. And it begins before the motorcades arrive.
