В статье рассмотрена фактическая ситуация и положение осведомителей в ЮАР, где ведущую роль играет политический фактор, а не правовой. По итогам исследования авторы приходят к выводу о том, что в законодательстве Южно-Африканской Республики не имеется должных мер по обеспечению защиты осведомителей и иных лиц, сообщающих о любого рода правонарушениях и преступлениях. Решение данной проблемы авторы видят в введении нового законодательства либо внесении поправок в уже действующее законодательство, касающееся правового регулирования положения осведомителя как участника уголовного процесса ЮАР.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The purpose of this article is to consider such a participant in criminal proceedings in the law of South Africa as an informant or whistleblowers, to analyze the legislation of South Africa, during which the legal framework of the Republic of South Africa will be analyzed, namely the provisions relating directly to measures to ensure the safety of informants. This article also examines the actual situation and position of whistleblowers in South Africa, where the leading role is played by the political factor, and not the legal one. Based on the results of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the legislation of the Republic of South Africa does not have adequate measures to ensure the protection of whistleblowers and other persons reporting any kind of offenses and crimes. The authors see a solution to this problem in the introduction of new legislation, or amendments to existing legislation concerning the legal regulation of the position of an informant as a participant in the criminal process of South Africa.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>осведомитель</kwd><kwd>сообщение о преступлении</kwd><kwd>коррупционные преступления</kwd><kwd>защита от раскрытия осведомителя</kwd><kwd>уголовное право</kwd><kwd>уголовный процесс</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>informant</kwd><kwd>crime reporting</kwd><kwd>corruption crimes</kwd><kwd>protection against disclosure of an informant</kwd><kwd>criminal law</kwd><kwd>criminal procedure</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">South African Police Services (SAPS) (2009), “Resolving of crime learnership: learner’s guide module 11 to module 20”, Skills programme 1: Detective learning programme, South African Police Services, Pretoria.</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">South African Police Services (SAPS) (2009), “Resolving of crime learnership: learner’s guide module 11 to module 20”, Skills programme 1: Detective learning programme, South African Police Services, Pretoria.</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit2"><label>2</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Wright J.
