Abstract :The period in which gifted students will reveal their potential is usually during their university education. That`s why universities have to offer opportunities and opportunities for gifted students. With the pandemic period, universities have accelerated their development of distance education opportunities. Gifted university students prefer e-mentoring, e-tutoring and e-supervision aspects of distance education. In this research, the e-supervision services offered to gifted university students by the University of South Africa, a university in South Africa, which is an important location in the world`s talent development, were examined in detail. In the research, the university entrance data, the information and data of the relevant units of the university, and the programs were discussed. The review study can be said to be an important and pioneering study in terms of raising awareness about e-mentoring-based support of gifted university students in South Africa. In the future, it is recommended to conduct criterion-based quantitative and qualitative research on e-mentoring, e-tutoring and e-supervision applications in the development of gifted talent at the university level.
