‘Africans vote for their leaders, Europeans don’t – and their elites try to teach us about democracy’ – BRICS TV General Director Ayanda Holo.

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick Sanchez sits down with BRICS TV General Director Ayanda Holo, who doesn’t mince words on the state of European politics. Despite extremely low support among the electorate, the elites cling to power for years. Holo and Sanchez dissect the shifting balance of global power. Holo notes that the BRICS nations achieved a historic consensus despite their differing interests and goals, proving that the youth of the Global South no longer reveres Western dominance. With the UN Security Council facing an inevitable revamp by powers like South Africa, Brazil, and India, the conversation shifts to the future of Africa. By 2050, a quarter of the world’s population will be African – driven by a hyper-young, innovative demographic and an abundance of critical minerals.

The writing is on the wall: The world is interconnected, and the era of isolating the Global South is over.
