South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has highlighted the fight against corruption and the country's struggling economy.
Speaking during the closing day of the ruling African National Congress party's conference, he said:"All the measures proposed to grow and transform the economy rely on a fiscal policy that ensures that our national debt is contained within sustainable limits and that spending is reprioritized away from consumption towards investment."
The conference also discussed policies needed to address the country's challenges, including the high levels of poverty, 35% unemployment rate and the rising cost of living.
The policy conference, seen as a preview to its elective conference in December where it will elect new leaders, was attended by over 2,000 delegates.
