Reports of a male baboon on the loose in the Northcliff area for two weeks seems to have his days numbered as the hunt is on by Community Led Animal Welfare (Claw) with the SCP Security working together to locate the animal. The baboon has been spotted at Northcliff Corner on the corner of Beyers Naudé Drive and Milner Avenue, Northcliff and Melville Times reports.
Clive Maher from SCP security said, “This morning we got a call at about 9am from a client that the baboon had been spotted at Milner Avenue in Northcliff. I immediately contacted Claw to capture the animal for his safety.”
