The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is calling on the global community to boycott the G20 Summit scheduled to take place in the United States in 2026.

This, after talks of the country looking to bar South Africa from participating.

United States (US) President Donald Trump has announced that Pretoria will not be allowed to attend the global gathering in Miami in 2026.

However, South Africa maintains that the US has no right to prevent another founding G20 member State from taking part.

EFF leader Julius Malema said G20 countries should stand in support of the South African government.

“The first sign of resistance to the fascism of Donald Trump would arise at the coming G20 meeting, and contrary to the overly diplomatic stance of the South African government, the EFF calls for a boycott of the G20 in Miami, Florida, if South Africa is not allowed as a founding member as a result of a declaration by Donald Trump. The world has defeated fascism through solidarity, and there is no diplomacy with fascism, and we must unite now or perish.”
