Talk Africa: What does BRICS mean for Africa?

The world’s attention is on South Africa as it gears up to host the 15th BRICS summit - a pivotal gathering of five influential nations that could reshape the global order. Under the theme "BRICS and Africa: Partnership for Mutually Accelerated Growth, Sustainable Development, and Inclusive Multilateralism," the spotlight is on the place and role of Africa within BRICS. So, we ask, what exactly does this summit mean for Africa? Join CGTN as it expolores the key issues on the agenda, the likely outcomes and how these could open a new chapter of collective growth and empowerment for Africa.

Here in Africa we are desperately wanting BRICS to accelerate its program to expand membership and to make finance for the New Development Bank a reality so that we no longer have to borrow USD from IMF and World Bank which is both controlled by the US and use their position to sanction a number of African countries including Zimbabwe, Eritrea, Mali, Chad, CAR, Niger, Burkina Faso etc. We are sick and tired of Neocolonialism and we can only end it by freeing ourselves from Western institutions such as IMF and World Bank.

The Professor from South Africa has better insightful explanations, followed by the Egyptian. He reflected also on: The Creation of an “African Currency Unit” (ACU) representing all the Currencies on the Continent in a basket with the backing of our minerals such as GOLD and others and hence serving as a forerunner for a common currency later (The African Currency Unit - ACU) which can operate alongside the Existence of the Pan African Payments System.

BRISC will bring economic development in Africa but would face challanges in strenghtening currency esp if some african countries still have ties with UN and Europe at the same time those countries will need to find a way to break ties smoothly.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Wish to see the day when there will be an alternative to the dollar. Also when Africa will have a SINGLE CURRENCY.

[@traderboi2662]

A single currency is extremely difficult because some countries manage their economies much better than others creating imbalances which create friction.

[@OpheliaPG]

I appreciate this series on Africa and the changing face of the world order. We all should be supportive of the uplifting of the continent that has been exploited by western colonizers. Only when everyone is free can we all be free. This is the way for all humans to evolve into humankind’s full potential. I salute the BRICS for leading the Herculean task. Thank you CGTN for this coverage. We don’t see this type of reporting in USA.👏🏻

My issue with digital currency is the privacy of how one spends their money,where,what and why. The central bank regulations, restrictions and monitoring is ridiculous and doesn't allow free access of one's money, account and how they use it. It's still draconian as well as how much one should spend is ridiculous.

I'm from Serbia and even though every Balkan country is in the EU or wants to become part of the EU I would love for Serbia to become part of BRICS. I understand that BRICS can't go from 5 countries to 55 in just a year or two and that all BRICS countries are big and with huge population while Serbia is small and only 7mil people but we have position in the centre of Balkans and all countries around us are in NATO so we could be like BRICS island in NATO & EU ocean if nothing else just to piss them off. I don't like the EU even though I liked it 35 years ago but also then I didn't care about NATO and now I hate them

Idea of BRICS is not to have *one* or _few nations_ *dominating* flow of *money* (i.e. Gold/value ), and resources ( *minerals* ,etc). So idea of an *alternate* money-flow, i.e. BRICS *currency* , and also so " BRICS *Bank* ". But *problem* is *China's* known *_Debt-trap_* tactics which use existing *IMF* and *Europe's* Western Banks to pressure poor *African* (Asian) nations, to become virtual slaves to *China's* advancement (e.g. Kenya, Mali, etc). So, BRICS *currency* has to be made for only *Commodity Specific* trade. So say, BRICS will agree on what *_fits Category_* : E.g. *All* agree that BRICS$ can be used to trade *software services* , iron-ore, *oil* , chemicals, *rare-earth minerals* and book-keeping-services. So, BRICS nations can *only* trade in these using BRICS$ , and can be monitored for *deviancy* - Which (trading non-BRICS agreed items) results in *fines/penalties* , etc. So, BRICS dollars can be used by other nations, but *all* BRICS *knows* the supply of BRICKS$, and so cheating can be *monitored* .

The issue of what does BRICS mean for Africa is the issue of what does Africa mean for BRICS, since the principles are the same, the principles here are human beings who. have the same essence, the essence that make them human among the sensitive beings. Thus, what does BRICS mean for Africa and what does Africa mean for BRICS can be a constituted framework where the principles deliberate of the common destiny in a genesis a of sense to life. Life a ti suits those who, despite their differences, share the essence of man. What does BRICS mean for Africa and what does Africa mean for BRICS can be wills for history. Since humans write their history while living them. What does BRICS mean for Africa and what does Africa mean for BRICS can be a horizon and a shore. A horizon and shore of mutual benevolence surrounded by morality and ethics, by hope a and a thought for the divine.

So you asked about Africa, well South Africa is a major player. And so American imperialism and colonialism is very bad for Africa. The SCO can protect Africa. And allow them to become their own masters. So in the free world not everyone is corrupt so a group of scientists are looking at helping Africa by using Africa as a development site for robotics. Here we play our teams against other teams to develop peaceful robotic systems. Since we need a playing field and need tasks we will use garbage pickup and recycling as our methods and compete in that regard for innovation. Rather than war. Although we can dress it up as if it were robot wars through competition. So these would be small robots that work from solar and slowly go around and pick up garbage not huge robotic systems. Small robots that even teenagers can make. So this will help Africa to be involved in these industries. And of course China is a leader in robotics globally so competition there will be very good for exposure of their products they wish to sell to a larger market. To be recognized globally as an industry leader.

@@user-iv7hg4kr3e We must break the pathology of dependency which is the execrable mindset that prevents Africans from developing. The BRICS are a new lure for Africans.

Starting with Westerners who are a veritable black hole that absorbs people, materials and energy from other parts of the world.

On the contrary, they will be fully integrated into the world as major international political, economic, cultural, military and diplomatic actors.
