Quotes In South Africa, the deputy president supports the president and takes on delegated responsibilities. I assist the president in several areas. First, I lead government business in Parliament, ensuring smooth interaction between the executive and presiding officers, particularly on legislation. I also address challenges, such as ensuring ministers respond effectively in Parliament. Secondly, I chair the Human Resource Development Council, which focuses on critical skills development. This includes working with universities, technical colleges, the private sector and trade unions to address skill gaps and encourage technical education for young people. Lastly, I oversee the South African National AIDS Council, aiming to eliminate HIV by 2030 while also addressing TB and other diseases.

We look forward to engaging with various sectors in the U.S., believing that continuing and growing this partnership will be mutually beneficial for both the American and South African people. We were initially concerned about not being part of the core group, but after positive meetings with some of our ministers, we have moved past that challenge. With new leadership coming in the U.S. next year, we look forward to working with President Trump and his team to strengthen our relationship. We want to grow trade, especially in vehicles and vehicle components. We believe there are many opportunities for collaboration and President Trump has already expressed interest in joining the G20.
