Last week Thursday we spoke to Professor Patrick Bond from UJ and Prof Anthoni and Nieukerk about South Africa assuming the presidency of multilateral group, BRICS. They then touched on how South Africa intends to balance their foreign policy when it comes to this issue. So this morning we hear from the Department of International Relations to also educate us on the country’s foreign policy.

Guest: Professor Anil Sooklal – Ambassador at Large for BRICS at the Department of International Relations

Guest: Zahir Laher – Chief Director for United Nations and Global Governance
