BRICS Summit opens in South Africa

BRICS leaders have converged in South Africa as the coalition of significant emerging economies looks to exert its influence to counterbalance the Western hegemony in international affairs. The BRICS nations - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - represent a quarter of the global economy, and interest in joining the club has surged ahead of its three-day summit in Johannesburg.  To discuss this, Oliver Dickson was joined by Leon Louw-Founder and former President of the 50-year-old Free Market Foundation, as well as Founder and President of the new Free Market Foundation, the Izwe Lami Freedom Foundation. ***Louw has won many international awards and is the author of SA's top-selling political book 'The Solution', popular communist and commentator with over 400 published articles.
