Abstract:

 BRIC as the group was originally known before the inclusion of South Africa was formed asan alternative to the G20 and G8 groups which were viewed by these countries Brazil,Russia, India and China as being dominated by western powers. The term BRIC was actuallycoined by a Goldman Sachs analyst who had been working on a research paper dealing withthese four countries. This paper attempts to deal with answering the question whether it wasjustified that South Africa was included as a member of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India,China, South Africa) family of nations given that it is much smaller than its partners withinthe BRICS family and, a recent entry into independent Africa. The paper is not allencompassing but makes certain salient observations. By the same token it does not pretendto capture every salient nuance of this debate. It however does clarify some vexing issues asconcerns South Africa’s acceptance as a member of the BRICS family of nations.
