The Da Gama Park Baboons

As a resident of Da Gama Park near Simonstown, my family and I have experience on more than one occasion the agility, cunningness and determination of the baboons that frequent the area. Garbage day seems to lure the troop into the area, the Navy flats is often a scene of chaos, with bins turned over and rubbish bags ripped open and rubbish laying all over the place. And if you think they are happy with what they find in the garbage bins, think again. The baboons will go as far as climbing the walls to the top level and force a window open or break it open, to get their next meal.

Although we see them as a nuisance and a pet, it is us as human beings who are to blame. Our messy habits, our laziness and our just don’t care attitudes when it comes to garbage.

We also need to remember that we invaded their home and forced them out of their habitat, claiming it as our own, starting a turf war

Maybe a good lesson can be learnt from the experiences of the residents of Da Gama Park.
