MINISTER RONALD LAMOLA ADDRESSES THE AFRICAN DIGITAL FUTURES SUMMIT 2025

Minister Ronald Lamola delivered opening remarks at the African Digital Futures Summit 2025 ahead of the Road to G20 Dialogues session on the sidelines of #UNGA80 in New York, USA. The session discussed “Africa’s Digital Future: A G20 Imperative”. The Road to G20 Dialogues anchor Africa’s digital priorities within the global agenda, ensuring the continent’s voice shapes decisions at the highest level of governance. With South Africa holding the G20 Presidency, this track highlights why Africa’s digital future is not just a regional concern but a global imperative — spanning climate resilience, artificial intelligence, and tech sovereignty. These sessions set the stage for Africa to influence collective commitments, align with the wider Global South, and position the continent as a rule-maker in the digital economy of tomorrow.
