❗️EXCLUSIVE: "The multipolar system will help us to ensure that now we can begin to think freely, to think out of the box and come up with creative ways of transactions that are going to help ordinary people," Zolani Mkiva, manager of the Mkiva Foundation and delegate to the South African National Council of Provinces, tells Sputnik

💬“Because at the end of the day, the single international finance system, which has been relying on dollars for a long time, it has created major poverty in the world. Because what it does, it makes the rich richer, and it leaves a big gap for the poor to remain the poorest. But when President Putin puts, you know, some works in the game, it helps us now to begin to tilt the balance of forces in favor of the majority of the people on the planet Earth.”

❗️EXCLUSIVE: "I’m very optimistic about BRICS and the role that it must play,” Zolani Mkiva, manager of the Mkiva Foundation and delegate to the South African National Council of Provinces, tells Sputnik

💬“So, it (BRICS) must also go beyond government. It must translate to people-to-people relations because if it does not do that, it becomes an ivory tower that cannot be felt by ordinary people. When things are conceived by leaders with a vision, the leaders that we have at the BRICS level, let’s translate them to simple terminology, to simple policy communiques, which are to be understood by all our people.“

“If you were to ask me the relevance of NATO today in the world, I would tell you straight that it is an instrument of cordiality which should not be existing in this day and age. It is an organization which is actually threatening the stability of the world because it’s a military formation,” Zolani Mkiva, manager of the Mkiva Foundation, delegate to the South African National Council of Provinces tells Sputnik

💬“NATO is not there to defend humanity….You know, this thing of maintaining structures like those, they lead to these depopulation programs which are also regressive and destructive. Instead of people thinking positively on how to help humanity, they are thinking on how to liquidate humanity, which is bloody racist in its approach, which is imperial, which is inhuman, which is dehumanizing, and it needs to be condemned with the strongest terms possible.”
