In communal areas of the Eastern Cape, Traditional authorities are expected to impose strict protection measures in their areas of jurisdiction, but they are reportedly failing to do so, owing to the fact that most people are unemployed and depend on aloe tapping for their income. There is therefore no confidence in harvest management in these communal areas, primarily due to a lack of financial capacity and incentive to conduct effective monitoring and control. Conversely, there is a high confidence that A. ferox harvest is well managed on private land, both in the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape provinces.
