Legal Obligations under NEMBA
It is legally required to eradicate all alien vegetation from your property.
Invasive species are classified as a liability under the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act of 2004 (NEMBA). According to this act, every landowner in South Africa has a “legal duty of care” to manage invasive species on their land. Additionally, when selling land, it is mandatory to inform the buyer about any invasive species present on the property.
Importance of Managing Invasive Species
It’s crucial to note that many of these species are toxic to animals and spread rapidly, encroaching upon neighbouring properties if left unaddressed. For further information, please contact the Greater Kyalami Conservancy (GEKCO).
