BRICS vs. the West? South Africa demands global power shift.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called on BRICS nations to defend multilateralism and push for global governance reform on Thursday. Speaking at the BRICS summit, Ramaphosa said the group must strengthen its role in a changing world. He urged members to work together to ensure international institutions reflect current global realities. The call highlights the bloc's push for a greater voice in global affairs. BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—represents a quarter of the world's economy and nearly half its population.
