Invasive species: In October 2014, the Alien and Invasive Species Regulations, issued in terms of environmental legislation, came into operation
The main aim of the provisions is to prevent more alien invasive species coming into South Africa and also to address the established invasive species that are most harmful and destructive to our indigenous plants and species. A total of 559 alien species are listed as invasive! The provisions place certain responsibilities on the shoulders of land owners and we explain briefly what each land owner should know in this regard, both when holding on to his land and when he sells the property.
