Political Anlysis: BRICS Summit and Lady R update from the Presidency

On our Political Analysis feature, we look at yesterday’s Presidential speech where President Ramaphosa gave an update on the recently held BRICS Summit and he also gave a report on what the US Ambassador to South Africa Rueben Brigety claimed in May this year that South Africa supplied Russia with arms in December through the Lady R cargo vessel, which a panel investigation report has since debunked. Sysman Motloung, political science lecturer from Northwest University joins us to unpack what all of this means for SA. Should South Africa push US to recall Ambassador Brigety? Why would such claims be made? Could it had anything to do with BRICS? How should we move forward with this? On the BRICS Summit, how has the summit advanced SA’ stance internationally/globally? Are we now seen as major players or is tat a delusion? Come January will the joining of the 6 major oil producing countries make a significance in our economy? etcSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
