Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa

( Figs 17a & b )

falls into category 3 (DEA 2016) and represents the biggest threat to the indigenous vegetation in Kolomela and the greater Ghaap Plateau. It occurs primarily along drainage lines, such as the Groenwaterspruit, and in disturbed areas around watering points. The mine is currently involved with a very successful control programme aimed at eradication of this species.
