Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed for the duration of South Africa’s first Mega Event.  This cache will remain after the Mega to be enjoyed by all geocachers.  This cache has been placed with the kind permission of Voortrekker Monument Heritage Site.  Please take care of the surrounding environment – this is a Nature Reserve


Invasive species are a great problem in SA.

In total there are 200 species of plants that are declared weeds or invaders in South Africa. These include 121 woody species, 16 succulent species, 44 herbaceous species, 9 grasses and reeds, and 10 aquatic species. They are divided up into three categories: Category 1 species are declared weeds and totally prohibited, Category 2 plants are invasive species for which permission can be gained to grow them commercially in demarcated areas but otherwise they must be removed, and Category 3 invasive plants can be maintained on your land if they are plants that were already growing at the time these regulations were promulgated (March 2001). All other Category 3 plants must be removed (a good example of this is the Jacaranda). Irrespective of the category, all declared plants growing within 30 m of the 1:50 flood line of a river or waterbody must be removed. Exceptions to these regulations can be gained through obtaining special, written permission.
