1/ Global Development Delay. Roux’s development is severely delayed. No doubt a mixture of brain injury, spending the first year of life mostly laid in a hospital bed and operations one after the other has contributed towards this. When we were told we may need to consider …

2/ end of life care, we were also told that even if he did survive he will probably never develop beyond a newborn and we needed to be prepared for that. But, Roux is smashing goal after goal. First, would he ever hold his head up? Would he smile? Could he play?

3/ Roux is all over the place developmentally. We can’t put an age to him. We work on small steps with him. Speech, feeding independently, feeding with a loaded spoon/fork, throwing, bashing toys, these are the types of things we have worked through. The first time Roux does …

4/ Anything is celebrated with such enthusiasm. The things you normally take for granted. High 5s, a new word or turning a page of his musical book have all meant so much. Roux’s gross and fine motor skills are the biggest challenges as he’s unable to walk and intricate play …

5/ Is still a way off but he will get there. The determination this boy has had so far to get through what he has, tells us he will just keep going and going. We focus on what he can do rather than what he can’t, otherwise you get dragged into self pity and we’ve learnt that’s ..

6/ not a nice place to be. He’s full of personality, brings so much joy to our lives and has the most infectious giggle. We don’t know what he’s capable of but what we do know is that this boy will not give in. #braintumourawarenessmonth

This young man has made me smile watching him prove others wrong. He will go far but only in his time not everyone else’s. Your such a little happy man Roux you keep braking through hurdles

Thanks for sharing Roux’s story. I’m the father of a 39 year old who is developmentally challenged—he remains my greatest teacher and inspirational source. The key you mentioned in tweet/5–focus on what people can do, not what they can’t. Great life lesson writ large.

Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, It is an honour to address this Biennial Summit. We gather at a moment when the 2030 Agenda is in peril. It is estimated that we need to close a financing gap of $4 trillion annually if we are to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. A succession of crises has exposed the fragility of our interconnected economies and revealed deep inequities in our capacity to respond. While some nations are able to mobilise trillions to shield their citizens and economies from pandemics and other emergencies, others are left constrained by debt and denied fair access to global capital. We should use this Summit to push for the full implementation of commitments made across various forums – from the Financing for Development process to the #G20 and Climate Change COP. We must strengthen coordination between the UN, the African Union, the G20, international financial institutions and other global financial actors, embedding inclusivity at the heart of global economic governance. To close the SDG financing gap, we need to undertake the following bold measures: Firstly, we need debt relief and restructuring that is faster, fairer and more comprehensive. Secondly, we need to mobilise affordable, accessible financing from a wide range of sources. Thirdly, we need to rechannel unused Special Drawing Rights to countries in need. Fourthly, we must scale up concessional finance through development banks. Lastly, we must reform global tax rules to curb illicit financial flows Beyond financial instruments, we need confidence that commitments will be honoured and that global rules will be shaped by all members, not just a few. Let us forge a new compact for financing sustainable development rooted in solidarity, equity and mutual accountability. South Africa stands ready to ensure this Summit becomes a turning point in our collective effort to build a sustainable, inclusive and resilient global economy. I thank you. #UNGA80 🇺🇳
