BRICS Will It Be South Africa's Shangril-a To Economic Freedom For Its Citizens

South Africa has been struggling with a poor economy for quite some time now. The country is a member of the BRICS group, which is made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. However, despite being a part of this group, South Africa's economy has been lagging behind. One of the major reasons for this is the corruption that has plagued the State-owned enterprises in the country.

Corruption has been a major issue in South Africa, and it has affected the country's economy in many ways. One of the most significant impacts of corruption has been job losses. When State-owned enterprises are involved in corrupt practices, it leads to inefficiencies and mismanagement. This, in turn, leads to job losses as companies struggle to stay afloat.

Another issue that South Africa has been facing is the cholera outbreak. This outbreak has been linked to poor sanitation and hygiene practices, which are a result of the poor economy. When people do not have access to clean water and sanitation facilities, it leads to the spread of diseases like cholera. This, in turn, affects the productivity of the workforce, which further impacts the economy.

While corruption and poor governance can certainly hinder a country's progress, South Africa can still benefit from its membership in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) in several ways:

Potential Economic Rescue Options For South Africa

1. Economic Cooperation:

BRICS offers South Africa access to a large and diverse market of emerging economies. This can provide opportunities for trade, investment, and economic growth. By participating in BRICS summits, South Africa can engage in discussions on economic policies, promote its industries, and attract foreign investment.

2. Infrastructure Development:

BRICS nations often collaborate on infrastructure projects. South Africa can leverage this cooperation to address its own infrastructure challenges. For example, it can seek investments and expertise from other BRICS members to develop transportation networks, power plants, and other vital infrastructure that can enhance economic productivity.

3. Investment and Finance:

BRICS countries have established the New Development Bank (NDB) and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) to support infrastructure development and provide emergency liquidity assistance. South Africa can benefit from these financial mechanisms by accessing funds for infrastructure projects or during times of economic stress.

4. Knowledge Sharing:

BRICS nations engage in various forums and initiatives aimed at sharing knowledge and expertise across a range of sectors, including education, science, technology, and healthcare. South Africa can tap into this collective wisdom to address its own challenges and improve governance practices. Learning from successful experiences of other BRICS members can help South Africa implement effective anti-corruption measures and strengthen its institutions.

5. Diplomatic Influence:

By being part of BRICS, South Africa gains a platform for diplomatic engagement on global issues. It can align itself with other member countries to advocate for shared interests and positions in international forums, such as the United Nations. This can enhance South Africa's influence and promote its development priorities on the global stage.

However, it's important to note that for South Africa to fully benefit from BRICS, it needs to address its internal challenges related to corruption and governance. By taking concrete steps to combat corruption, improve transparency, strengthen institutions, and ensure good governance practices, South Africa can create a more conducive environment for reaping the benefits of BRICS membership.

To improve the economy, South Africa needs to tackle corruption head-on. The government needs to take a strong stance against corruption and ensure that those involved in corrupt practices are brought to justice. This will help to restore trust in the government and the economy.

Another way to improve the economy is through DE Dollarization. This is a process whereby a country stops using the US dollar as its currency and instead uses its own currency. This will help to reduce the country's dependence on the US dollar and make it more self-sufficient. DE Dollarization will also help to reduce inflation and boost economic growth.

In conclusion, South Africa needs to address the issue of corruption if it wants to improve its economy. The government needs to take a strong stance against corruption and ensure that those involved in corrupt practices are brought to justice. Additionally, DE Dollarization can help to reduce the country's dependence on the US dollar and make it more self-sufficient. Only then can South Africa truly become a prosperous and thriving economy.

My Political Contribution To South Africa's Liberation Against Apartheid Struggle

My Political Contribution of Art Exhibitions To South Africa's Liberation Against Apartheid Struggle. Isaac Khonjelwayo Paintings and Art Collection reminisce the fight against Apartheid - Since 1976. On my arrival at the South African refugee camp I was received and hosted by Mr. Lefifi Tladi & Khush. Lefifi was from Garankuwa and Khush, his colleague as I had known him came from Soweto somewhere in Tladi or Naledi. They were custodians and important political hosts who connected local guys with overseas escape travels and routes to Africa and parts of USA, Canada and UK. They showed me around the camp and who was who from South Africa in Gaborone - Botswana. The camp was truly a place of solace for these youth who got displaced in the capsule of time. I was relieved to see my cousin Simon Kgasi, he too was shocked to see me. Lefifi Tladi and Khush interviewed me to establish my plan and intentions for coming to Botswana. They explained the rules and conditions...

Talent Search To Reduce High Unemployment Rate In South Africa For Struggling Citizens

South Africa's job marketing, prospects for in 2021 was a bad and serious issue that continues to affect our economy. A majority of our South African unemployed citizens have talent that is underutilized. Some of their gift's and potential is slowly decaying. I guess this might be because of laziness or poor advise from peers. Lack of mentorships and guidance from proactive teachers, parents, schools and adults. Complacency and poor judgement about the future has affected their point of view to align themselves with world needs, to cope. Let alone mixing with a bad company to end addiction. Nigerians and Pakistanis' spaza shops drug peddling has taken root and control of our environments. The government doesn't even care to address this serious social maladjustment issue.

South Africans Are The Only People To Decide The Fate of Our Politics

South Africans Are The Only People To Decide The Fate of Our Political Landscape… We need a different plan for South Africa all together, to create an equal opportunity and fair distribution of wealth and job opportunities for all our legitimate citizens. Those who are in positions of power and authority should do something right for the first time for the country and alter the cause of history in the hands of the failing ANC. We can conform to complacency and become redundant as a people; or we can begin to challenge convention – through an intelligent conversation or; we can move against the grain to save the country from calamity, corruption and junk status – even let it R.I.P. Is The Country S.A. Also Part Of The Curse By The Gods? This means we become a replica of Zimbabwe and those ailing African States that are facing similar challenges of leadership malnutrition to visual impairment to read the future and save themselves from their own self-engineered demise.
