A top government official from South Africa, a G20 member, said the language for the induction of AU into the international trade bloc was up for discussion but could be resolved by Friday.

The South African official, who chose to remain anonymous until the decision was made public, however said there is a possibility that the resolution to grant AU membership could be vetoed.

Vincent Magwenya, South Africa’s presidential spokesperson said he “wouldn’t comment now until the official announcement or post summit.”

Germany, Brazil, and Canada have also voiced support for AU to receive its membership.
