Jarvis shot a flawless 64 on Saturday's third-round moving day at Stellenbosch Golf Club to grab a one-shot lead, less than a week after the 22-year-old had grabbed his maiden crown at the Kenya Open.
He's in line to be the eighth successive South African to win his home Open on Sunday, following the lead of Schaper, who followed up his Alfred Dunhill Championship victory with a victory in the Mauritius Open.
Jarvis made a big par putt on the final hole. "That could be one of my greatest putts in front of a home crowd, that was a really cool moment," he said. "Obviously it's nice momentum heading into tomorrow."
Jarvis is on 11 under for the championship, a shot clear of compatriot Hennie Du Plessis, who went round in 67, and Italian Francesco Laporta (70), with Scotland's  Calum Hill lying fourth on eight under after a 65.
Jason Scrivener, the only Australian survivor of the halfway cut, had a two-under 68 to lie at three under, tied for 29th position.
