This is what the world desperately needs: talks, negotiations, proper diplomacy, trades and cooperation, international relations based on mutual respect, not on a bullying and blackmail! BRICS is the best solution for prosperous and peaceful future! The eyes of the whole world are on you, expecting from you to bring us into a new, brighter era of human history.

[@InspectorYT]

Where are the 4 billion people? In BRICS? Four thousand million (long milliard or short billion) is about half the world population, and BRICS is expanding.

[@petehon1005]

What do youean with expanding. Russian oligarchs left, the African youth only wants to live in the west. Indian and Chinese oligarchs leave as soon as they can. And then we have the joy to watch those totalitarian bunch of losers who can not even meet in peace at the first summits. You guys really lack some education. Feed the pricks first before talking about expansion.

[@Revel136]

A new day is coming. We have to fight, but we will win. As I am confident we are in an Era of responsible fair trade. Getting the colonialists to be open and transparent, will be challenging. But, it will be done. Additionally in the event of future trading, reparations should be paid. I think 25% of all trades is fair. Shouldn't take more than a century, also the stolen art and artifacts precious Stones etc RETURNED!!!

[@user-qn5ht8ig8i]

I can not avoid a feeling of relive and deep hope as the BRICS group gather to further work on alternative ways of going forward. Business is important but it becomes dirty business when a few countries get archi-rich and the overwhelming majority stagnate for generations with barely enough to live. I congratulate the countries that have had the courage and wisdom to, once and for all, go against the current and stand firm to change the horribly unfair conditions that have shaped our modern history. Best wishes and success.

[@henrypeterson7768]

This is a sea change of global geopolitics. It's unthinkable to see Africa in a position to decide its own destiny, to choose its friends and business partners. We're living the future in real time. A multipolar world free of interference. If what I'm seeing is real, then, we owe you, BRICS. Africa owes you. In fact, humanity owes you.

ANC talks all day - but does nothing. Ramapoesa too weak in character. ANC just embezzles any profits for their own good. All vote gathering with no results. Hopeless!

[@InspectorYT]

@@ua697 Somehow, this crazy ANC-led Government has managed to ignore the worsening risk created by criminals, both in and out of the ruling party, until we face a looming crisis. Now, it's of concern that the scheduled power interruptions have been suspended while BRICS meets in SA. The grid mustn't collapse.

[@juhantoon6524]

My hope for the outcome of this BRICS conference is : 1) Admission of new members to increase the voices of the BRICS in international forum 2) A concrete settlement agreement for intra trade between BRICS members as well as countries willing to participate. A reserve currency is too early at this stage to talk about. 3) Put geopolitics aside to concentrate on trade, infrastructure and economic development issues.

One thing I love about South African political leaders is that;whenever they are speaking politics,they don't say;South Africa,they keep on saying "Africa,Africa,Africa....." God bless you. It makes me feel like becoming politically active very sooner. It irritates me when we Africans tend to face other powers individually rather than collectively.
