Director,
Fellow Ministers and Delegates of the G20,
Representatives of our Guest Nations,
Colleagues from partner organisations and cultural institutions,
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning to you all, and welcome to the warm shores of KwaZulu-Natal – a province where the heartbeat of Africa meets the open waters of the Indian Ocean. Here, history and hope walk side by side. The hills, the people, the rhythms – they remind us that culture lives and breathes all around us.
It is an honour to stand before you today, on behalf of President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa and the people of South Africa, as we mark the formal declaration of this year’s G20 Ministerial Meeting….
Cuisine: South African cuisine includes a mix of indigenous, Dutch, Indian, and
Malaysian influences, with popular dishes like bobotie, braai, and biltong.

Kazakhstan: You have two cows. They are both better cows than cows from Uzbekistan, who have bones in their brain.

A Priest was seated next to Van Der Merwe on a flight to Brakpan.
After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.
Van Der Merwe asked for a Rum and Coke, which was brought and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the priest if he would like a drink.
He replied in disgust \”I\’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.\”
Van Der Merwe then handed his drink back to the attendant and said \”Me too, I didn\’t know we had a choice.\”
