Abstract

This paper is a short note about the current status of bioactivity testing  involving plant material. A generalised science overview is provided, with  two South African provinces, viz. Cape Town and KwaZulu-Natal, used as  examples to explain the discrepancies often encountered in bioactivity  testing outcomes. (All of the views provided in this paper are those of the  author. Only some of the information provided, I (the author) had obtained  while based in the School of Life Sciences at the University of KwaZulu Natal (Westville campus) in 2014).
