Applications open: media accreditation for 4th G20 Culture Working Group Ministerial Session – KwaZulu-Natal
The Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Mr Gayton McKenzie, in partnership with the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, will host the 4th G20 Culture Working Group (CWG) Ministerial Session at The Capital Zimbali Hotel.
This high-level three-day session is scheduled to take place from 27 to 29 October 2025 . The first two days will conclude discussions between technical officials, following a series of CWG meetings already held this year, and wrapping up with the Ministerial Meeting on 29 October 2025. That will serve as a platform to consolidate outcomes and recommendations in preparation for the much anticipated and historic G20 Leaders’ Summit in November, under the theme, “Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability”.
The session will build on prior engagements and further advance discussions on the following four key priorities: Safeguarding and Restitution of Cultural Heritage to protect human rights; Integrating Cultural Policies into Socio-Economic Strategies for inclusive, rights-based development; Harnessing Digital Technologies for the protection and promotion of culture and sustainable economies; and Exploring the Intersection of Culture and Climate Change in shaping global responses.
Members of the media who wish to cover this 4th G20 Culture Working Group ministerial session are requested to apply for accreditation by completing the attached accreditation form and send it back to solomonm@dsac.gov.za. The deadline for submission is Wednesday, 22 October at 12:00.
