marketing company Brand SA said :
- "We believe South Africa is an integral part of Africa and works to increase its stability, unity, prosperity, and international influence," Brand SA chief executive Miller Majola said in a statement.
- It will be the first time for South Africa to participate in the summit as a full member. South Africa joined the group last year.
- The summit provide an opportunity for member countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa -- to debate issues of mutual interest and concern, the statement said.
- The summit was increasing in stature at a time when Western countries were experiencing a decline in their traditional political and economic power, the statement said.
- This is a clear indication of the growing stature of emerging nations, the statement noted.
"The BRICS grouping is the most concrete and rapidly evolving example of this phenomenon. In just four years, the formal agenda for cooperation and consultation has expanded dramatically to span politics, trade and business, science, academic, and cultural interactions," said the statement.
I say south africa deserves to be in the group.What do you think
SA has come a long way, when one looks at some of the countries in the SADC region, like Zimbabwe to be specific - we're doing very good.
ReplyDeleteWe've hosted a successful African soccer world cup in 2010 and the COP17 in 2011 amongst other events, we really deserve a seat in the BRICS grouping!
i dont think SA is doing any good no more.
ReplyDeleteMr Mothiba I believe South Africa does yet deserve to be involved In the BRICS, in my opinion saying our country is developing is dangerous. it's similar to telling a soldier a war is nearly over,you can give them a false sense of hope.America is a super power and even they suffer in an economic crisis we must keep working to be better and not even rest the day we are regarded as a first world country.
ReplyDeleteSouth Africa is doing great, we deserve to be in the BRICS... in my opinion we are the africa's number developing country.. we trully deserve to be in the BRICS
