Listen "CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE - Dr Peter Hammond - South Africa's G20 Fallout: A Biblical Call for Reform and Humility"

Episode Synopsis

Dr Hammond's analysis addresses the significant diplomatic and economic fallout from South Africa's handling of the G20 presidency, citing strong criticism from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The critique centers on the ANC-led government's policies of "racial grievance," redistribution, corruption, and a foreign policy that has alienated traditional allies like the United States. The segment argues that these choices have led to economic stagnation, rampant unemployment, and South Africa's effective exclusion from future G20 summits. Drawing from Proverbs and Isaiah, the discussion frames the nation's plight as a spiritual and moral crisis, condemning the "politics of grievance" and hateful rhetoric.
