Expect there to be an increase in the number of baboons spotted in the ‘burbs once the City of Cape Town abandons its urban baboon management programme.
Sightings of the baboon in both Tokai and Constantia indicated that he was “visibly and obviously very stressed and anxious and hungry”.
Kataza and his troop were commonly seen in and around Kommetjie, although he vanished last Tuesday, and has now reappeared in the Southern Suburbs.
A mother baboon and her baby were euthanised on Friday, and some Kommetjie residents are unhappy about the decision-making process.
