JOHANNESBURG – President Cyril Ramaphosa told the United Nations (UN) that the world must aim to create a transformed and inclusive future after the global coronavirus pandemic.
More than 31 million COVID-19 cases have been detected worldwide since the outbreak was confirmed in Wuhan, China, last year.
The global death toll is fast approaching the 1 million mark, with concerns that Britain is heading for a second outbreak.
Speaking on the 75th anniversary of the UN during an unprecedented time that forced the leaders of around 200 countries to bring the high-level meeting online, Ramaphosa said now is the time for the world to stand together.
“World peace is not just about a world free of conflict, it is also a world free of poverty, inequality and underdevelopment. It is a world of inclusive economic growth and shared prosperity. It is a world where young people can grow and prosper and a world where women have the same rights and opportunities. “
In recent hours, South Africa has fallen to ninth place on the global COVID-19 scale, as Spain has recorded more confirmed cases of the virus.
