locality is situated within a larger natural area enclosed by a patchwork of informal settlement, next to which the heavy utilization of veld by cattle and goats has reduced much of the grass cover to near lawn-like consistency. While there is still some herbaceous grassland plant diversity, this tends to comprise unpalatable or very low-growing species. It is nonetheless possible that some plants could still occur here, but these conditions are not conducive to long-term survival.
