Hmmmm... can be any one of a number of Senecio sp. . Difficult to say without leaves , but could very well be S. latifolius . Common name - Staggers bush , Dunsiektebossie ( Afr.) . Closely related species are S.venosus , S. retrocus , and S.pergamentaceus , all of them noxious/poisonous to animals .
Enough is enough

I would go for Senecio lydenburgensis because of the solitary cottony stem and it's quite tall!
Erect perennial herb up to ± 1 ,4 m high; crown of rootstock covered with fibrous bases of old leaves; stems usually unbranched below, densely leafy; most parts sparsely and loosely covered with whitish woolly hairs
Re: Plant Identification
Toko , on the other hand , the flower-stem of S.lydenburgensis does not contain hairs ?
Enough is enough
Re: Plant Identification
Braam Van Wyk, Sasa Malan: Field guide to the wild flowers of the highveld says it's slightly hairy
Can not find another one in Gauteng with a hairy tall single stem branching above and no leaves on the upper stem
And it would be correct according to the plant list as it is not the S. burchellii which is more bush-like scrubby
The stems of S. latifolius are mostly smooth, but typical small pads of woolly hair are found at the bases of the stems.
S. venosus would be more leafy, no nude stems and grows in clusters.
Perhaps is not Senecio at all
