This study presents a comprehensive literature review exploring the landscape of quantum computing (QC) education in South Africa. The review aims to address the scarcity of published research on the provided content and educational experiences of African QC students. While global QC education efforts are expanding, there is a significant gap in published research detailing local educational experiences and offerings. By analysing both limited local and international literature, this study identifies key challenges, including the digital divide and the predominant focus on university-level instruction. This contrasts with international trends that incorporate gamification, visual tools, and outreach to primary and high school students. Findings reveal that internationally there are efforts to introduce teaching materials more suited to non-physics learners – and since there is interest from industry – teaching aligned to industry’s practical requirements. Future work should focus on understanding where students get stuck in their understanding within current curricula, exploring curricula adaptions for non-physics students, and leveraging off some of the known international use cases.
