Ahead of the next BRICS summit on 22-24 August, South Africa has secured a substantial injection of funds totaling $5.27 billion from the New Development Bank established by BRICS member countries.

This financial infusion is designated for pivotal projects in road construction, water supply, and energy infrastructure, according to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement on Sunday.

Speaking to the nation in advance of the upcoming BRICS summit scheduled for August 22-24 in Johannesburg, President Ramaphosa lauded the benefits that South Africa has reaped from the New Development Bank, a multilateral financial institution created by BRICS nations in 2015.

"Our country has been funded by the bank in several infrastructure projects to the value of R100 billion in sectors such as roads, water, and energy," Ramaphosa stated, emphasizing the significance of these investments in the nation's growth.
