South Africa Bungled the Optics of Its BRICS Compromise with Russia

South Africa Bungled the Optics of Its BRICS Compromise with Russia

What Pretoria should have done was play it cool, refuse to indulge the media circus surrounding the upcoming summit, and candidly discuss everything with the bloc behind closed doors.

Russian investigative organs have sent him a clear message that the party is over and that there is a steep personal price to be paid for recklessness and impertinence.
