JOHANNESBURG - South Africa is still seen as a giant in Africa.
However, that perception may change if government does not put the people and country first.
That is according to Phaphano Phasha, a researcher and member of the ANC.
The country also has to ensure it maintains its position in Brics.
At least 22 countries, some very powerful, want to join the bloc.
South Africa will have to beware of not disappearing in the fray.
