exclusion of Melia azedarach and Opuntia ficus-indica, all the recorded species are indigenous to South Africa. Among the botanical families, the most used species came from the Fabaceae (17%), Anacardiaceae (9%), and Combretaceae (9%). This observation is in partial agree- ment to that of Semenya and Maroyi et al. [23] in differ- ent districts of the Limpopo Province, they noted the dominance of Anacardiaceae and Fabaceae. These fam- ilies, which are mostly trees, play a vital economic role in the present study, in being used either as fuelwood, in crafting, or as medicinal species, and are thus highly preferred.
