Brics summit: What does South Africa get out of Brics?
The five Brics countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - are holding their 15th annual summit in Johannesburg. However, one of the nations leaders, Vladimir Putin, will not be there.
The G7 nations have been very critical of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but the Brics
nations, including South Africa, less so.
The BBC's Kim Chakanetsa takes a look at why that is.
