Sorry to focus on the least important part of the story but BRICS is not an alliance, more an informal association
The two largest members are shooting at each other constantly

Gee I wonder if there was an event that may have explained that. Say circa 2014
Also..."striking distance" when they share a 2000km+ broder

Exactly. South Africa already plays a leading role in SADC and the AU and has strong economic ties with China
Who needs Russia?
Also Russia is only 7% of BRICS economic output and 4% of BRICS population
Russia isn't even relevent

Look at the difficulties faced by the EU and especially the Eurozone over the last 30 years because of economic differences between Germany and Italy and North vs South Europe
Those disparities are nothing compared to the differences in the BRICS countries
