Cape Town To Increase Residential Rates to Keep Baboons Out?
Cape Town could be forced to increase its residential rates to be able to manage the conflicts that are developing between 11 troops of baboons and the Cape Peninsular’s city and town residents.
The baboons of the Cape Peninsular, south of Cape Town, are a real tourist attraction both within the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP), along the roads that pass through it and at many of the landmarks in the peninsular. They are Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus), also known as the Cape Baboon which are like all other baboons, from the Old World monkey family.
