In September 2023 we sent our first Letter of Demand to the authorities responsible for the management of the baboon human interface (the Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Joint Task Team - known as the JTT) to start a process to hold them accountable, on their own version, for not imlementing the solutions that they themselves had identified over and again over the past 20 years - but have not implemented wholly, if at all.
Now, just over a year later, we are just two weeks away from our High Court hearing at which time we hope that a judge will issue a court order holding the individual authorities accounatble to implementation of their respective roles and solutions identified.
We have worked tirelessly on this matter and have dealt with over 3000 pages of affidavits, opposing papers and our reponses. It has been a mammoth task but we have not missed a deadline, not skipped a beat and we have submitted factually correct and relevent documents in support of our application.
We are more than ready for our court date on 4th November 2024 and pray for a succesful outcome.
In my next report, I will let you know the results.
In the meantime, I thank you for your on-going support and contributions to help us protect and help baboons.
We could not have done this without your care and concern behind us.
Please think of us and the baboons on 4th November 2024 and send all your best supprt.
