Tourism KZN led BRICS delegates took a tour of various historically important sites in the province yesterday - including the settlement where Mahatma Gandhi lived in Phoenix.  

They're attending the 2018 summit at the ICC this week. 

India's Shiv Khemka is the vice chairman of SUN Group and a member of the BRICS business council.

Brazil's Rodrigo Dora, who chairs the BRICS agri-business working group, says visiting sites like these reminds him of the many similarities between South Africans and his own countrymen.

"Brazillians and South Africans are sympathetic people. They are hard workers. I do believe that Africans and Brazilians are the same, we are all part of the same family. This not only in BRICS but all over the world," Dora said.
