Members of the media who have applied (and have received confirmation that they are accredited) for the XV BRICS Summit are encouraged to collect their accreditation cards at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Sandton from Saturday, 19 August 2023.

The accreditation centre operates between 08h30 and 18h00. The centre is situated at Conference Centre 2 (please press level R2 in the lifts).

Members of the media are reminded to bring their original IDs or passports as well as press cards or letters of assignment from the editor.

Members of the media are also reminded that each must pick up his/her own card. You cannot collect on behalf of someone else.

It is a serious offence to temper with the card or pass it on to third parties. Lost accreditation cards must be reported to the police.

Detailed media guidelines, including the draft media programme, are available on the XV BRICS Summit website, www.brics2023.gov.za.
