Установлено, что Южно-Африканская Республика является лидером в продвижении «мягкосиловых» технологий на африканском континенте, однако их реализация сдерживается внутренними проблемами социально-экономического характера. Сделан вывод, что большое значение для наращивания потенциала «мягкой силы» Претории имеют её инициативы на площадках Африканского союза, а также проекты в области туризма и спорта. Прогнозируется, что концепция Африканского ренессанса и философия Убунту могут сформировать основу для усиления «мягкого» влияния ЮАР на международной арене.</p><p>Теоретическая и практическая значимость. Полученные выводы могут быть полезны как для изучения специфики «мягкой силы» африканских государств в целом, так и для разработки стратегии социо-гуманитарного сотрудничества Российской Федерации и Южно-Африканской Республики на двусторонней основе и в рамках межгосударственных структур.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim.

It has been established that the Republic of South Africa is a leader in the promotion of soft-power technologies on the African continent, but their implementation is hampered by internal socio-economic problems. It is concluded that its initiatives at the sites of the African Union, as well as projects in the field of tourism and sports, are of great importance for building the potential of the soft power of Pretoria. It is predicted that the concept of the African Renaissance and the philosophy of Ubuntu can form the basis for strengthening the soft influence of South Africa in the international arena.</p></sec><sec><title>Research implication</title><p>Research implication.
