I don't think it's ever going to be a "bloc" like NATO, nor is it going to try to. India, for example, has major beef with China. They're not even in the Belt and Road. While they have good relations with Russia (going back to the Soviet Union), they've been turning more and more towards US since the 2000s. And Brazil's future depends entirely on these elections. South Africa is too small to matter at the global scale. A more useful framework would involve the cooperation between the enemies of the Western order - China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela etc. They also aren't a bloc though.
I know China is trying to establish its own institutions to oppose the Western ones, and its succeeding, at some levels. That's where the opposition to US/West will come from.
NATO wasn't so much about being cooperative, it was about being against the Soviet Union. Likewise BRICS is about being against the US-led tyrannical order.
