A scourge in Betty's Bay — Acacia Elata
(Article compiled for the Kogelberg Branch of the BotSoc by Dr Allan Heydorn)
Originating in south-eastern Australia, the Peppertree wattle, Acacia elata, is an invasive species causing increasing concern in the Western Cape. As with other invasive Acacia species, it displaces indigenous fynbos vegetation, lowers groundwater levels and poses a serious hazard during wildfires. It spreads rap idly through prolific seed production and dispersion. A. elata is listed under the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act (NEMBA) as Category 1b. Its removal is therefore enforceable by law.

If you are interested, please phone 021 7941761 or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by Thursay, 1 October.

In last month’s edition of The Buzz, it was incorrectly reported that PIKKEWYNTJIES had a monthly funding shortfall of R1000. This was a gross understatement. The monthly deficit is a whopping R600 per child.
