President Cyril Ramaphosa sought to allay global jitters ahead of the BRICS summit and affirmed South Africa's neutrality in the shifting global power dynamics.

On Sunday night, the president addressed the nation on South Africa’s foreign policy and the upcoming BRICS summit.

The president said while some of the country’s detractors preferred overt support for their political and ideological choices"we will not be drawn into a contest between global powers".“It is for this reason that SA is a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, a forum of some 120 countries that are not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc.

Ramaphosa gave his full support to the expansion of BRICS member countries, saying an expanded BRICS would result in a more balanced global order. More than 30 heads of state are in South Africa for the 15th BRICS Summit, which starts on Tuesday and ends on Thursday.
