Mimusops afra[3] (coastal red milkwood, Afrikaans: Kusrooimelkhout, Xhosa: Umthunzi, Sepedi: Mmupudu, Zulu: Umkhakhayi)[4] is a species of tree in family Sapotaceae.

[5] These trees may reach 15–25 m (49–82 ft)[6][7] in height, but are shorter on the seaward side of the dunes[8] where they rarely exceed 5m tall and where the foliage suffers under salt spray and sea winds.

[10] The fruit are eaten by people, vervet monkeys, bushpigs, Cape parrots, black-bellied glossy starlings and yellow-streaked bulbuls.

Protected tree species may not be cut, disturbed, damaged or destroyed, and their products may not be possessed, collected, removed, transported, exported, donated, purchased or sold, except under licence granted by the Department of Forestry or a delegated authority.

[11] The etymology of the original species name caffra is related to kaffir, an ethnic slur used towards black people in Africa.
