There are some indigenous species of cacti, native to South Africa. In addition there are a number of introduced species, these are commonly called "invader plants" and are banned from being cultivated in South Africa. Example is Opuntia - the "Prickly Pare" cactus

Which plant has adaptations similar to those of a cactus?

All cactus plants are succulents, but not all succulents are cactus plants. So it's to be expected that cactus and succulent plants remind one another of each other. For example, the Caralluma socotrana of Africa and India resembles the totem pole cactus [Pachycereus schottii v monstrose] in similarly knobby stems. In the way of another example, Echinopsis spp resembles the African hat cactus [Hoodia spp] in similarly short, branching stems.There are a number of euphorbias that are native to African deserts that closely resemble cacti from the New World.
