 <p>For the uninitiated, South Africa hosting the BRICS summit puts the nation in the spotlight on its ties with Russia.

 <p>Ramaphosa said in the address that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="South Africa" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/south-africa.html">South Africa</a> won’t be bullied to speak on political and ideological choices by detractors. <strong>“While some of our detractors prefer overt support for their political and ideological choices, we will not be drawn into a contest between global powers,”</strong> he said while addressing the nation.</p> 
 <p><strong>“We have resisted pressure to align ourselves with any one of the global powers or with influential blocs of nations,” </strong>he said. While Ramaphosa did not mention the names of the global powers, the message remains carefully crafted for Western nations.</p>
