South Africa will not be forced to side with any global powers, President Cyril Ramaphosa vowed Sunday as he readied to host a summit of major emerging economies. The meeting in Johannesburg this week of BRICS nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — will seek to widen their influence and push for a shift in global geopolitics. South Africa’s hosting of the summit has turned a spotlight on its ties with the Kremlin, especially as it has refused to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The BRICS nations account for about a quarter of the global economy and interest in joining the group has surged this year. At least 40 countries have shown interest in becoming members, with 23 having submitted their applications. South Africa supports calls to open up membership of BRICS.
