ANC party leader and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed party members at the national policy conference.

非洲人国民大会领导人、南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨在国家政策会议上向该党成员发表讲话。

In order to improve the party's declining electoral support, he discussed the country's main challenges - high poverty levels, a 35 percent unemployment rate and rising inflation.

为了改善该党不断下降的选举支持率，他讨论了该国面临的主要挑战--高度贫困、35%的失业率和不断上升的通胀。

The more controversial topic is the party's step-aside policy, which requires party leaders accused of corruption to step down from their positions, according to Ramaphosa, "...to enhance the integrity of the movement and its leadership."

根据拉马福萨的说法，更具争议性的话题是该党的让位政策，该政策要求被指控腐败的政党领导人下台，“以加强该运动及其领导层的廉正。”

But many rival factions within the party and loyalists to former President Jacob Zuma opposed the policy, saying it's used to silence political rivals.

但党内许多敌对派别和前总统雅各布·祖马的忠诚者反对这项政策，称这是用来压制政治对手的。

The policies agreed on will be adopted at the national conference in December where Ramaphosa will be seeking reelection as party leader.

商定的政策将在12月的全国会议上通过，拉马福萨将寻求连任该党领导人。
