Through its presidency of the BRICS countries in 2023 and by bridging the gap between industrialized and developing countries, South Africa has increasingly assumed a leading political and financial position both in Africa and globally. Especially within the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict the country has managed to increase its influence in crucial international organizations and became a main international player by bringing genocide allegations against the State of Israel before the International Court of Justice. Thuli Mandosela, former public protector and founder of the Thuma Foundation, will contribute to an in-depth understanding of today's South African political dynamics in an online discussion organised by the Kreisky-Forum, which will be broadcast live on YouTube on the 02. of May.
