This paper is situated within the context of the challenges related to the processes currently being undertaken in South Africa by the government to stimulate e-Skills capacity. The paper reports on findings of a systematic textual examination of existing ICT skills shortage research reports. Acknowledging the shortcoming of existing e-skills categories in a diverse, ever-changing ICT environment as well as the complexity of determining supply and demand for ICT skills, it is found that existing research on these matters in a South African context is difficult to interpret, not comprehensive enough and often not credible.
