南非總統因身體不適暫停公開行程

約翰尼斯堡，9月16日（路透社）——南非總統西里爾・拉瑪佛沙（Cyril Ramaphosa）的辦公室週三表示，拉瑪佛沙因身體不適，已依醫療團隊建議暫停公開行程。JOHANNESBURG, Sept 16 (Reuters) - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been booked off from public engagements due to ill health on the advice of his medical team, his office said on Wednesday.

• 拉瑪佛沙73歲。他的辦公室在聲明中表示，拉瑪佛沙週一出席在印度舉行的金磚國家領袖峰會後返回南非，並獲建議休息與復原。• Ramaphosa, 73, returned to South Africa on Monday after attending the BRICS leaders' summit in India and was advised to rest and recover, his office said in a statement.

• 聲明說，拉瑪佛沙已請內閣部長在可行情況下代表他出席既定公開活動，但未說明他可能缺席多久。• The statement said Ramaphosa had asked cabinet ministers to represent him at scheduled public events where possible, without saying how long his absence might last.

• 南非副總統保羅・馬沙蒂勒（Paul Mashatile）在接受一項醫療處置後，也依醫師建議休息。• South Africa's deputy president, Paul Mashatile, is also resting on the advice of his doctors after a medical procedure.

• 南非廣播公司報導，在拉瑪佛沙缺席下，外交部長羅納德・拉莫拉（Ronald Lamola）將率領南非代表團出席今年的聯合國大會。• Foreign affairs minister Ronald Lamola will lead South Africa's delegation to this year's United Nations General Assembly in Ramaphosa's absence, the South African Broadcasting Corporation reported.

• 拉莫拉抵達美國之際，美國因其所稱的種族歧視，對部分南非人實施簽證限制，導致外交緊張再度升高。• Lamola will arrive in the U.S. at a time of renewed diplomatic tensions after the U.S. imposed visa restrictions on some South Africans over what it called race-based discrimination.

• 美國總統川普（Donald Trump）政府曾作出不實指稱，稱南非白人阿非利卡納人（Afrikaner）少數族群正遭受迫害。• U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has made false claims that South Africa's white Afrikaner minority is being persecuted.

• 南非駁斥這項說法，表示沒有證據顯示白人受到歧視，並稱南非有權制定政策，以處理數世紀種族不公所留下的遺緒。• South Africa rejects that, saying there is no evidence of discrimination against whites and that it has a right to put in place policies to address the legacy of centuries of racial injustice.
