The focus of the paper will be to analyze the formation of BRIC and later the inclusion of the newest member, namely South Africa in 2010, leading to the renaming of this multilateral agency to BRICS – with "S" denoting South Africa to reflect the group's expanded membership. The paper will also look into the political, economic and social challenges faced by South Africa, the smallest economy of the five members, as a result of joining this multilateral forum.
