South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said Sunday that next month's BRICS summit, which Vladimir Putin has been invited to, will be held in-person despite an arrest warrant on the Russian leader.

"The BRICS summit is going ahead and we are finalizing our discussions on the format," Ramaphosa told journalists on the sidelines of a conference by the ruling ANC, adding it will be a "physical" meeting.

He did not say if Putin -- who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over accusations that Russia unlawfully deported Ukrainian children -- would attend or not.

 

"We are going to have a physical BRICS summit, all of us are committed to having a summit where we will be able to eyeball each other," he said in response to a question.

 

"We have not held a physical summit for... almost three years. It's not going to be virtual," he stressed.

 

As a member of the ICC, South Africa would be expected to arrest Putin if he sets foot in the country.

 

There had been rumours in the local media that Pretoria was considering moving the talks to China to avoid being put in the position of having to arrest Putin.

 

The arrest warrant is a diplomatic dilemma for Pretoria, which has been close to the Kremlin since the anti-apartheid struggle years.

 

South Africa has not condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, saying it is impartial and prefers dialogue.

 

Last month, Ramaphosa led the presidents of the Republic of Congo, Egypt, Senegal and Uganda in a historic attempt to broker peace between Kyiv and Moscow.

 

The African leaders' mission brought the voice of a continent that has badly suffered from repercussions of the Ukraine conflict, particularly with rising grain prices.

It put forward a 10-point proposal, including de-escalation, the recognition of countries' sovereignty, unimpeded grain exports through the Black Sea and sending prisoners of war and children back to their countries of origin.

 

South Africa is the current chair of the BRICS, a grouping of heavyweights that also includes Brazil, Russia, India and China to challenge the dominant US and European-led global governance structures.

 

It will host the 15th BRICS summit at the Sandton Convention Centre in the financial hub Johannesburg from August 22 to 24.

I don't think that they will switch off the dollar, when push comes to shove!   The US has the strongest economy in the world, and everyone knows it.  China has a struggling economy right now, and they are the strongest of the group.  Russia is totally in the ditch economy wise, so why would anyone switch off the dollar, other than out of hate for America.  American is a solid and safe place for your currency.  JMHO!  :shrug:
