  As a South African homebrewer I can happily report that it is legal to brew in South Africa. We have no legal limitation on what/how much we may brew. The only rule is: **Do not sell your brewed product!**
  
  There are a few homebrew shops around, Beerguevera, brewmart, black kilt, etc. Google should help you find a good one close by.
