This article offers a historical framework for understanding changes to human perceptions and efforts to manage invasive alien plants and weeds in South Africa from the mid-nineteenth century until the present. The article argues that South African legislation and policy for managing invasive alien plants and weeds has historically been limited because people have held contradictory values about plants, many private land owners have lacked resources and have not been compelled to follow government legislation and because policy has reflected the interests of a small group of farmers or scientific experts who have had limited influence on most private land owners and traditional land users. Successful control efforts often relied on technical expertise that was applied controversially or could be implemented on government land without extensive public consultation or social conflict. The creation of a national framework for invasive alien plants through the Working for Water Programme in 1995 and National Environmental Management of Biodiversity Act (no. 10) of 2004 (NEMBA) has increased public awareness, but the Programme and NEMBA remain limited by many of the same institutional and social constraints that experts and institutions faced in the past. In conclusion, the article draws on history to provide insights to contemporary challenges.

对南非外来入侵植物的观念和国家管理框架进行历史化

本文提供了一个历史框架,用于了解人类观念的变化以及从19世纪中叶至今对南非入侵性外来植物和杂草进行管理的努力。文章认为,南非历史上用于管理外来入侵植物和杂草的立法和政策一直受到限制,因为人们对植物持抵触的价值观,许多私人土地所有者缺乏资源,没有被迫遵循政府立法,而且政策反映了一小部分对大多数私人土地所有者和传统土地使用者影响有限的农民或科学专家的利益。成功的控制工作通常依靠有争议的技术专长,或者可以在政府土地上实施而无需广泛的公众咨询或社会冲突。通过1995年的《水利工作计划》和2004年的《国家生物多样性环境管理法案》(第10号)(NEMBA),建立了外来入侵植物的国家框架,这已经提高了公众的意识,但是该计划和NEMBA仍然受到许多人的限制。专家和机构过去面临着同样的制度和社会限制。总之,本文借鉴了历史,为当代挑战提供了见识。通过1995年的《水利工作计划》和2004年的《国家生物多样性环境管理法案》(第10号)(NEMBA),建立了外来入侵植物的国家框架,这已经提高了公众的意识,但是该计划和NEMBA仍然受到许多人的限制。专家和机构过去面临着同样的制度和社会限制。总之,本文借鉴了历史,为当代挑战提供了见识。通过1995年的《水利工作计划》和2004年的《国家生物多样性环境管理法案》(第10号)(NEMBA),建立了外来入侵植物的国家框架,这已经提高了公众的意识,但是该计划和NEMBA仍然受到许多人的限制。专家和机构过去面临着同样的制度和社会限制。总之,本文借鉴了历史,为当代挑战提供了见识。
