South African Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago said on Wednesday that an "African agenda" including climate change and cross-border payment systems was still due to be discussed by G20 finance chiefs amid fears that tariffs would overshadow the gathering.

DURBAN (Reuters) -G20 finance chiefs will meet in South Africa on Thursday under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats and questions over their ability to tackle global challenges together.

South Africa calls for cooperative leadership at the G20 meeting, emphasizing the need for solidarity in tackling challenges like rising trade barriers. The forum, historically plagued by disputes, faces additional strain from Russia's war in Ukraine and tariff threats from the Trump administration.
