In 2023, South Africa chaired BRICS, emphasising the importance of "partnership for mutually accelerated growth, sustainable development and inclusive multilateralism". To this day, South Africa continues to actively promote multipolarity and the interests of the African continent. South Africa is assisting its neighbours in infrastructure and technology development, smart cities, and green transition. This year the country is chairing the G20, which contributes to the establishment of a sustainable and equitable dialogue in the group. We talked about this with Marius Fransman, businessman and politician from South Africa, founder of the People’s Movement for Change political party.
