President Cyril Ramaphosa will today host a meeting with Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa, Justice Mandisa Maya and the Judiciary at his official residence, Mahlamba Ndlopfu in Pretoria.
Briefing the media on the President’s public engagement programme, Presidential Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said the meeting will discuss operations of the Superior Courts and other challenges faced by the Judiciary.
The President will be supported by the Ministers of Justice and Constitutional Development, Finance and Public Service and Administration.
Later in the evening, President Ramaphosa will address the annual Black Business Council (BBC) Summit Gala and Awards Dinner at the Radisson Hotel and Convention Centre in the City of Ekurhuleni.
The BBC is hosting the 2025 Annual Summit under the theme “Socio-Economic Transformation and Inclusive Growth in the context of the Government of National Unity (GNU), G20 Presidency and the Changing Geopolitical Dynamics” on 05 – 06 June 2025.
Over the course of the summit, Ministers will participate in panel discussions ranging from the theme of the summit to access to funding for black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, which also will encompass a panel on strategies to revive and grow the economy.
“The BBC represents black professionals, business associations, and chambers, and it advocates for the interests of black business and works to ensure that policies and economic frameworks reflect the inclusive growth agenda,” Magwenya said.
Youth Engagement Programmes
As part of Youth Month activities, President Ramaphosa will on Tuesday, 10 June 2025 engage with youth beneficiaries of the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention (PYEI) and Presidential Employment Stimulus (PES) flagship programmes in Pretoria.
This as South Africa commemorates Youth Month, under the theme: “Skills for the changing world, empowering youth for meaningful economic participation”.
The President will visit three sites which are the Sefako Makgatho Primary School in Saulsville, the South African Creative Industries Incubator (SACCI) in Eersterust and the Foundation for the Professional Development (FPD) in Pretoria East.
Magwenya said these visits will highlight innovative implementation models and public-private partnerships that are delivering dignified, high-quality employment and skilling outcomes for youth at scale.
“The President will during the visits interact directly with youth beneficiaries, educators, and implementing partners, and see first-hand how the PES and PYEI’s community-based, demand-led approach is reshaping labour market access for the country’s most excluded youth,” he said.
2025 Green Hydrogen Summit
Additionally, President Ramaphosa will address the inaugural Africa Green Hydrogen Summit, scheduled to take place from 12 to 13 June 2025, in Cape Town under the leadership of the Department of Electricity and Energy.
This high-level platform builds on the momentum of the successful South African Green Hydrogen Summits of 2022 and 2023 and reflects a natural evolution toward a continent-wide agenda.
It seeks to promote regional collaboration, advance technological exchange, and unlock market access for African countries in the emerging green hydrogen economy.
“The Africa Green Hydrogen Summit 2025 arrives at a pivotal moment for the continent’s clean energy transition. Africa’s vast renewable energy potential, coupled with its mineral endowments, positions it to become a competitive global supplier of green hydrogen and its derivatives,” the Presidential spokesperson said. – SAnews.gov.za
