Abstract

This Act Ordinance of the Legislative Assembly for the Territory of South West Africa requires every occupier or, where there is no occupier, every owner of land to eradicate any weed growing on such land. The Administrator may by Proclamation in the Official Gazette declare any plant to be a weed for the purposes of this Ordinance, either throughout the Territory or in one or more areas therein. Specified legal action may be undertaken if the Administrator is satisfied that the occupier, or where there is no occupier, the owner of land is unable to eradicate any weed growing on such land. The Administrator may take such steps as he deems necessary in order to obtain information as to the presence of any weed on any land and as to the area on which such weed is growing.
