Default Removing kikuyu grass lawn

Hi,

Need some advice on how to remove kikuyu from the lawn. My backyard has a
large lawn section where the kikuyu grass has taken over.

Its located on a terraced bed above the paved courtyard. Quite a tricky
location to get to actually as there are no steps leading to it - only big
rocks. A real bugger to carry the lawn mower to there.

I thought of removing the kikuyu grass all together and mulching the whole
area - and placing drought resistant plants there.

Whats the best way to remove them - considering its winter now?

I thought of spraying the area of roundup - then laying down newspaper -
followed by mulch - and later adding the plants.
