Invasive Alien Plants - NEMBA List
South African Government Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism
On 3rd April 2009, Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Mr Marthinus van
Schalkwyk, published (Gazette No. 32090) the following documents (see
www.deat.gov.za) for 30 days of public comment:

The 2nd draft of the Alien and Invasive Species Regulations of the National
Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act No.10 of 2004);

Draft lists of categories of species exempted (section 66), prohibited alien species
(section 67) and invasive species (section 70).
Should the regulations become law, any species designated under section 70 can not
be propagated, grown, bought or sold by the industry without a permit. Below is a
brief explanation of the three categories
and the proposed list of invasive plants species (section 70 only).
Category 1a: Invasive species requiring compulsory control. Remove and destroy.
Any specimens of Category 1a listed species need, by law, to be eradicated from the
environment. No permits will be issued.
Category 1b: Invasive species requiring compulsory control as part of an invasive
species control programme. Remove and destroy. These plants are deemed to have
such a high invasive potential that infestations can qualify to be placed under a
government sponsored invasive species management programme. No permits will
be issued.
Category 2: Invasive species regulated by area. A demarcation permit is required to
import, possess, grow, breed, move, sell, buy or accept as a gift any plants listed as
Category 2 plants. No permits will be issued for Cat 2 plants to exist in riparian zones.
Category 3: Invasive species regulated by activity. An individual plant permit is
required to undertake any of the following restricted activities (import, possess, grow,
breed, move, sell, buy or accept as a gift) involving a Category 3 species. No permits
will be issued for Cat 3 plants to exist in riparian zones.
