The Makwassie Musk Shrew is a small shrew with scattered records in southern Africa. It is associated with moist grasslands, but its ecology is poorly known and its taxonomy remains unsettled.
The assessment describes it as a small species. It does not give detailed information about coat color or other fine external features.
Records come from moist grasslands, rocky mountain slopes, and grassy hillsides. The assessment says its ecology is little known and infers that moist conditions are important.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
