People who live in areas affected by raiding baboons may be hit with a rates increase to help fund a more baboon-friendly wildlife management programme, the City of Cape Town said on Thursday.
Several Cape Town neighbourhoods are affected by repeated baboon raiding, which in some cases leads to loss or damage to property.
The city spends millions of rand trying to keep baboons out of urban areas, a task thus far largely ignored by SANParks and CapeNature, according to city management. An increase in baboon numbers and a corresponding reduced ratio of rangers to baboons added to the problem.
