According to the topocadastral map for the proposed Madadeni opencast area (2531DB, DD), the<br />

historic land use in the area was crop cultivation. After the land became state owned land, it was<br />

utilised by the local communities as grazing areas mainly for goat and cattle. These historic<br />

disturbances caused bush encroachment, resulting in the area not representing a true savanna<br />

vegetation type any more but rather a quite dense woodland/thicket with heavily grazed undergrowth.<br />
