Didiza urges global reform at P20 Summit
Story 2
National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has used the opening of the 11th P20 Speakers’ Summit in Kleinmond to call for fundamental reform of international institutions.
She said bodies such as the UN Security Council and the World Trade Organisation no longer reflect today’s realities and must evolve to serve all nations fairly.
Hosting speakers from G20 and African Union parliaments, Didiza encouraged delegates to see the summit as a turning point where parliaments move from being reactive to proactive drivers of global solidarity.
She added that parliamentary diplomacy should be a tool to build consensus, strengthen democracy and address pressing global challenges.

Story 3
Melbourne’s Western Treatment Plant, where wastewater from the metro area is treated, has become a hotspot for birdwatchers, hosting over 300 species, including the endangered orange-bellied parrot.
