Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a broad range of habitats and a presumed large population.
Distribution
Following a review by Channing and Baptista (2013), this species is considered to be endemic to South Africa, but widespread within the country, reaching from the southwestern Cape east to Rhodes in the Eastern Cape, from 15–2,500 m Asl. Channing et al. (2016) also shows the species as extending up towards Johannesburg and Pretoria.
