Message from the Head of the Wits School of Governance

Welcome to the Wits School of Governance G20@WSG page —a dedicated space where we harness our academic expertise to provide informed perspectives on governance, public policy, and global economic affairs.

As the world’s leading economies navigate complex challenges, the G20 plays a pivotal role in shaping international cooperation, economic resilience, and sustainable development. 

At WSG, we recognise the significance of these discussions and their impact on South Africa, Africa, and the global community. Through this platform, we aim to provide our stakeholders with diverse, insightful, and thought-provoking commentary on key governance and policy issues related to the G20 agenda.

We will feature interviews with leading experts, policymakers, and commentators, offering a broad spectrum of views on pressing topics such as economic governance, climate action, digital transformation, social justice, and multilateralism. By engaging with these critical debates, we seek to foster a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges shaping our collective future.

We invite you to explore our expert analyses, discussions, and thought leadership as we contribute to shaping governance conversations at both national and international levels.

Professor Themba Maseko
Head: Wits School of Governance
