How important is a seat at the G20 table?
It鈥檚 been announced that the African Union is joining the G20. South Africa is the only African country that鈥檚 a permanent member.
Every year the G20 鈥� a group made up of the world鈥檚 wealthiest and most powerful countries - meet to discuss and make decisions on global challenges: climate change, energy security, trade and conflict.
For many years there have been complaints that many of those affected by those decisions aren鈥檛 represented.
So with the African Union now a member, will this mean Africa鈥檚 voice will be heard more?
Africa Daily鈥檚 Alan Kasujja speaks to Mikatekiso Kubayi, a researcher at the Institute for Global Dialogue at the University of South Africa.
