@CityofCT Additionalw Water restrictions should be imposed at a low level just to remind people that water is a precious resource.

No thanks to @CityofCT who have abandoned the CT2 baboons who are left vulnerable in Constantia

@CityofCT has failed baboons and residents of Constantia and show NO remorse leaving residents to raise funds to have monitors assist them in keeping baboons off the road to avoid accidents and their safety - arranging assistance when baboons are injured!

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

Bin pickers should be dealt with by law enforcement. Dumping and littering as they go. @CityofCT @GrantTwigg secured bins being opened and left unsecured in baboon areas has resulted in a disgusting mess today in Simonstown.

@CityofCT this is what remains after our bins are emptied by the service provider. 2pm too late to empty bins in baboon areas - binpickers open all the secured bins. We need proper secured bins!!! We are tired of hearing “the tender is out”

@CityofCT what happens to all this wonderfully rich soil and plastic once collected? #springcleancapetown

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

@CityofCT Yes we are. Also the service provider reports

@CityofCT are bins in Simonstown residential been collected today? Disastrous when collections don’t happen. Changing service provider with no interim plan? Businesses on main road especially - two days this was on the road! Don’t blame the baboons!

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

Informing the Baboon Hotline know of the whereabout of an injured or ill baboon on the Cape Peninsula could save its life. Please report ASAP.
@NCCEnviron @capespca

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

Residents witnessed shooting, driving at & stoning baboons, reported, photographic evidence and affidavits submitted. (the law) and NOTHING is done. Baboons get the death sentence through heresay by residents who hate them. Is that fair? Data? @CityofCT #capenature @NCCEnviron

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

We have to stop the killings and save our Male baboons.
We call for a moratorium on ALL killings of baboons until the authorities meet as a Task Team and take some responsibilities for failed systems their lack and new systems are tried and tested.

This is Nomahahlele of the Waterfall Troop (WF9). Together with2 other males, is now on death row - disguised by an “up for adoption” notice put out by @capenature @CityofCT Town.
Why? (Rest in comments)

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

No! Because humans are still attracting them. Fix the problem City of Cape Town and CapeNature. We have given you proof and evidence of people who have broken the law and harmed baboons - but they walk free. But your solution is still “kill the baboon”.

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

Nobody takes responsibility for the years of failure and money wasted - we just “kill the baboon”. Philemon from Smits and Bolo from Waterfall killed last year - has it stopped the troop going into Town?

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

The SA Navy refuse to fix broken windows and doors or even secure bin areas. What is the price THEY should pay for putting baboons at risk? Nothing.

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

But this is the authorities way of dealing with the fact that there is no ROI for the R14million paid for baboon management services who have not developed a successful plan to keep the troop out of the urban areas and poor waste management.

[Choachamma Environmental Conservation @Choachamma]

He is shot at with paintballs by rangers to keep him moving on most days, so has little time to forage during the day and looks for easy pickings after a day on the run! Wouldn’t you? Everyone knows his name so wherever there is a baboon, it’s “nomahahlele”!
