Dear Dr. Abdur Rab,
Thank you very much for your much interest in planting Lati Panikachu in South Africa. Normally sucker is used as propagating materials. Your land is suitable for cultivation of this vegetable. I think you can collect it from any research organization of South Africa. If not found you may contact with the following address for sucker:
