A safety plan concerning the future of five baboon tribes has been finalised, the City of Cape Town confirmed, but a pair of animal activists remain critical of this plan.

- KEANAN HARMSE

The plan includes a sanctuary, fencing as well as a waste strategy carried by Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Joint Task Team (CPB-MJTT).

Earlier this year, it was announced that the CPBMJTT, consisting of representatives from South African National Parks (SANParks), CapeNature, and the City will remove five Cape Peninsula splinter troops after noting that the primates have “increased to the extent that it was exhausting their resources” (“Baboon human clash intensifies” People’s Post 10 June 2025).

The plan has now been signed and approved by SANParks, CapeNature, and the City.
