Letter to the Editor | Save the new Baboon Hotline

The Overstrand Municipality Baboon Management Programme has set up a new hotline for baboon reporting.

The Human Wildlife Solutions (HWS) hotline number will be available for the operational projects in the Eastern Section which includes Voëlklip, Hermanus Heights and Fernkloof, and in the Western Section in Pringle Bay. In these areas, residents can phone the hotline to report sightings and request assistance from HWS.

The new number to report baboon issues is 072 028 0008.

Please save this number on your phone and delete the previous number as it is used for reporting the Cape Town baboons. When contacting the hotline, always mention the number of baboons seen and the specific address where the baboon(s) were last seen. If you can no longer see the baboon(s), indicate the time frame (how long ago you saw it/them. Whenever possible, please try to report baboons in the urban area immediately.
