JOHANNESBURG, July 26 -- The tranquil July weather in South Africa's commercial capital Johannesburg is attracting foreign visitors to stroll on its bustling streets, where brightly colored banners of the ongoing 10th BRICS summit catch much attention.
Passersby could be seen taking selfies with the colorful signs that are hoisted on the sides of streets around the Sandton International Convention Centre, where the event is being hosted on July 25-27.
It is no secret that hosting the 10th edition of the summit of emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) has elevated the image and prestige of the "Rainbow Nation".
Foreign delegates are thrilled by the prospect of riding on Johannesburg's electric tram and visiting the classy shopping malls where posh restaurants and clothing lines compete for space.
The Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg was the most prized destination among delegates to BRICS summit given the fact that it bears all the hallmarks of South Africa's struggle to free itself from the shackles of colonial rule and racial discrimination.
"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." The immortal words of late South African President and liberation icon, Nelson Mandela, are inscribed at the entrance of Apartheid Museum whose elegant interior and exterior designs have always mesmerized visitors.
