Abstract (2. Language): 
Apart from the United States and Britain where contemporary homeschooling is experiencing major breakthroughs, this form of education is also growing around the world in countries such as Australia, Canada, France, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and Thailand among others. In Africa, a unique step was taken by the government of South Africa in 1996 when it gave legal backing to home Schooling. Till date (2014), South Africa therefore has seventeen years of official experience in contemporary home-schooling granted that this mode of education has been on for many years before receiving the mandate of the government. In this paper, attempt is made to examine contemporary homeschooling in South Africa and the lessons that other African countries can learn from her experience
