Summary

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we have a fascinating discussion on South Africa's role in BRICS, the view of BRICS in South Africa, South Africa's case against Israel at the ICJ, a new National Health Insurance law in SA, and more. For this, we bring on someone ideally placed to discussed all of this and more - Prof. Narnia Bohler-Muller, a South African law professor and policy specialist who has been intimately involved in each of these topics. This is really a great conversation, and hopefully helps you in thinking more about South Africa's role in BRICS when you have discussions about that grouping.
