[The wealthiest square mile in Africa
is hosting a big international summit
this week with a mixture of pride,
relief, and a hint of unease.
Sandton - a glitzy banking district on the
outskirts of South Africa's increasingly
dilapidated city of Johannesburg - is the venue
for the latest meeting of the Brics group,
an ambitious but amorphous
bloc of countries
Brazil,
Russia,
India,
China,
and South Africa),
united by a desire to challenge
perceived Western dominance in global affairs.
Dozens of other nations are queuing up to join.
The current wave of relief felt here
in South Africa in relation to Brics can
be explained by President Vladimir Putin's
recent decision to stay away from the summit.]
The Brazil Leader is also there.
