South Africa is making its final preparations to host the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, even as the United States confirms it will not be sending President Donald Trump. City officials say infrastructure, roads, and traffic systems are being repaired ahead of the two-day gathering.

Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola insists the U.S. absence is not a political snub, calling high-level no-shows a routine part of global summits. With world leaders arriving and repairs underway across the city, Johannesburg is preparing for one of the most significant diplomatic events in its history.
