Di Longmore, Constantia

On Monday June 24, I called the City’s urban baboon programme offices in Westlake Business Park.

Ursula answered within seconds and took precise details of the sighting I reported in Constantia near the Rathfelder greenbelt.

She explained that the team was aware of, and keen to locate, the lone male in question, who had been expelled by his troop. A subsequent call was just as professionally dealt with. Ten out of ten for inspiring such confidence in your role as service providers in baboon management.

I do hope that you become urban legends in securing happy endings to these often misunderstood human/baboon interactions.

Thanks too to the Constantiaberg Bulletin and the other free community newspapers that inform us about actual community news - we need you.
