In a recent social media discussion, international journalist Hopewell Chin’ono argued that former South African President Thabo Mbeki, not his successor Jacob Zuma, deserves recognition for securing South Africa’s place in BRICS—the influential economic bloc comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Chin’ono attributes South Africa’s BRICS inclusion to Mbeki’s strategic foreign policy and dedication to global partnerships, cautioning against propaganda that distorts historical facts to favor certain narratives.

Mbeki’s presidency prioritized an “African Renaissance” vision, seeking to amplify South Africa’s global influence through South-South alliances. His diplomatic efforts positioned South Africa as a key player in Africa and the world, aligning with the BRICS countries’ goals of emerging economies collaborating to challenge traditional power structures. According to Chin’ono, Mbeki’s groundwork and commitment to South-South cooperation ultimately paved the way for South Africa’s BRICS membership.

Chin’ono’s assertion challenges the widespread belief that Zuma was chiefly responsible for securing South Africa’s position in BRICS. Instead, he emphasizes the significance of accurately recognizing Mbeki’s contributions, cautioning against historical distortions that could undermine a fair understanding of political legacies in South Africa.

The debate around BRICS holds broader significance beyond economic benefits, as it reflects South Africa’s role within the global South. Chin’ono’s comments invite a broader conversation about how propaganda and selective memory can influence public perception, urging a careful, fact-based approach when examining political achievements.
