Matabeleland South Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister, Evelyn Ndlovu, said that she was forced to vacate her house in Gwanda town because of marauding troops of baboons.
As reported by the <a href="https://newsday.co.zw/southerneye/local/article/200023279/briefs-minister-flees-baboons-menace">Southern Eye</a>, Ndlovu said baboons are giving residents of Gwanda sleepless nights as they are getting into people’s houses in search of food and water.
She implored the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) to address the challenge. Said Ndlovu:
<blockquote>
Wild animals are destroying people’s crops, killing people and cattle which is not a good thing…
This needs to be addressed because we have had baboons coming into the homesteads in Gwanda.
l myself left my house in Gwanda because l cannot stay there due to the fact that there is no peace.
Winter crops have been destroyed and l think electric fences should be put up to keep the wild animals away.

In November 2023, a full-grown male baboon mauled an 18-month-old baby as it tried to drag him away into a bush in West Nicholson in Gwanda District.
The mother of the child, Petronella Moyo (22), ran after the baboon that had snatched her child from a room, forcing it to dump him and flee.
The animal sank its teeth into the baby twice and left him badly wounded after dragging him on the ground for about 50 metres.
The boy was taken to Gwanda Provincial Hospital where he received treatment and was vaccinated against rabies.

Marauding Baboons Force Minister To Vacate Home

A full-grown male baboon mauled an 18-month-old baby as it tried to drag him away into a bush in West Nicholson in Gwanda District on Thursday last week.
The mother of the child, Petronella Moyo (22), ran after the baboon that had snatched her child from a room, forcing it to dump him and flee.
The animal sank its teeth into the baby twice and left him badly wounded after dragging him on the ground for about 50 metres.
The boy is admitted to Gwanda Provincial Hospital where he is receiving treatment and has been vaccinated against rabies.
Moyo told the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/woman-rescues-baby-from-jaws-of-a-baboon/">Chronicle</a> that she was in her bedroom and the child was in another room when she suddenly heard him screaming. She said:
<blockquote>
Some baboons came to our area in the morning and the neighbours made some efforts to chase them away. I was in my bedroom and my son was in the sitting room.
I heard my son crying and when I checked on him I saw a baboon holding him by the leg and fleeing.
Without thinking I pursued the baboon and at the same time I was screaming to scare it. It was dragging my son on the ground along the way and he was crying and screaming in pain.
As I closed in, after a distance of about 50 metres the baboon dropped my son on the ground and it fled.
My son was seriously injured as the baboon bit him twice and he also sustained bruises from being dragged on the ground.
The animal was very violent. I feared that it would tear my child into pieces. However, I was determined to save him at all costs.
He got stitches to bring together open wounds and nurses cleaned up the injuries every day and dressed them.
His condition has greatly improved and he is no longer in great pain.
</blockquote>
A resident from Gwanda Town said that it no longer feels safe to leave her children unattended while playing after a baboon once snatched her baby while he was playing and threw her down shortly afterwards.
Baboons reportedly started flocking to the area around 2007 and have since become a menace.
Residents said that the wild animals are very calculative and constantly display traits of humans such as opening doors and taps and leaving water running.

They said they have failed to run income-generating projects such as orchards, poultry and gardens as baboons eat the produce.
The baboons are also causing havoc at Gwanda Provincial Hospital, St Christopher’s Primary School, Mount Cazalet Primary School and Joshua Mqabuko Polytechnic College.
Minister of State for Matabeleland South Provincial Affairs and Devolution, visited Moyo and Gwanda Provincial Hospital where she urged the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Authority (Zimparks) to deal with the baboons.

Baboon Mauls 18-month-old Baby In Gwanda

A 29-year-old man from Nyanga claims that “baboons” are visiting his family demanding the money he owes a local traditional healer.
Innocent Ndaruza told <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/baboons-sent-to-collect-debt/">The Manica Post</a> that the local traditional healer, Sekuru Chihwa “helped” his wife to conceive.
He said his wife who had struggled to conceive fell pregnant soon after they sought the services of Sekuru Chihwa.
Ndaruza claimed that baboons now frequent his homestead. He said while sleeping, he and his wife hear voices singing outside, shouting that he needed to pay what he owed Sekuru Chihwa. He said:
<blockquote>
My father has two sons and we both do not have children. I ended up marrying a second wife, thinking that my first wife could not conceive. She went through so many miscarriages.
When I decided to consult Sekuru Chihwa, my brother refused to do so citing his religious beliefs.
Sekuru Chihwa told me that the person who was causing our problems would fall ill when my wife conceived. This came to pass as my father fell ill as soon as my wife became pregnant; he is still bedridden as we speak.
Sekuru Chihwa charged me US$150 for his services. I was supposed to pay it over two months. However, I failed to do so because I lost my job a month after consulting Sekuru Chihwa.
Months later when I raised the money, I went back to Sekuru Chihwa and tried to reason with him to accept my payment, but he refused, arguing that the time that his ancestors had given me had lapsed.
Sekuru Chihwa told me that I would have frequent baboon visits at my homestead. At times, one baboon comes but at times, it will be the whole troop.
These unusual visitors sit in my yard and demand the money I owe Sekuru Chihwa. When it happened for the first time, I rushed to Sekuru Chihwa with US$200, but he refused to accept it.
The baboons come to my homestead once a week in broad daylight and at night we hear voices of people singing that I should pay what I owe them.
I do not know how far Sekuru Chihwa will take this. I fear that my wife or the child she is carrying might not make it because the baboons and voices claim that they will take back what belongs to them, which in this case is the pregnancy.
</blockquote>
Ndaruza’s neighbour and uncle, Jack Ndaruza, claimed they also witnessed the baboon visits. He said:
<blockquote>
What is happening at my nephew’s homestead is stranger than fiction. If you have not witnessed it, you will think that it is a lie.
I saw one of the baboons with my own two eyes. They speak and it is frightening as I have never seen anything like this before.
</blockquote>
However, Sekuru Chihwa denied sending the baboons during an interview with The Manica Post.
He also denied orchestrating the mysterious things that were taking place at the Ndaruza homestead, saying it was the work of his ancestors. He said:
<blockquote>
I am only being used by my ancestral spirits. They are the ones who helped his wife to conceive.
They performed a “go back to sender” to the person who was behind the family’s barrenness.
It is true that this man approached me and we helped him. I told him to pay in two months, but he failed. He came back five months later with the money. Maybe he doubted my powers.
I never asked him to pay consultation fees when he visited me for my services. I felt his pain, but he later reneged on his promise to settle what I charged him for the services.
</blockquote>
He said the US$150 that Ndaruza owed him had accrued US$300 interest.
Sekuru Chihwa told the publication that he had decided to forgive Ndaruza and would take only the US$150 that he had charged him. He said:
<blockquote>
I am doing this because you have approached me on his behalf, otherwise, my ancestors were really angry with him for failing to honour our agreement.
If you are still in touch with him, tell him that the money should be paid before the end of September. If he fails to do so, then it will be a lost cause.

Nyanga Man Alleges Harassment By Baboons "Sent" By Traditional Healer

Baboons are giving people in Hwange and Binga Districts a torrid time as they break into homes through windows and rooftops while searching for food.
The baboons also attack women and children and snatch their satchels.
The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) is struggling to curb the baboon menace as traditional methods to stop them are proving ineffective.
Speaking during an interview with <a href="https://vicfallslive.co.zw/index.php/2022/10/16/baboons-wreak-havoc-in-drought-prone-binga-hwange/">VicFallsLive</a>, Zimparks Matabeleland North regional manager Samson Chibaya said they have embarked on an exercise to capture the baboons but it is proving to be difficult. He said:
<blockquote>
Baboons are a perennial nuisance in Hwange urban and other areas such as Binga and Victoria Falls.
They cause damage in hotels, lodges and homes and their behaviour includes the destruction of property and taking food from kitchens, off the buffets and tables.
Capture and translocation are no longer effective because the baboons no longer come to the baits.
Shooting is also ineffective as the baboons are so elusive and flee once they see armed people in uniform.
They are (also) territorial, once a troop is wiped out another different one quickly moves in within a week or two.
</blockquote>
Chibaya attributed the increasing cases of human-wildlife conflict in urban areas such as Hwange to poor refuse disposal and climate change. He said:
<blockquote>
Poor solid waste management is another factor as baboons are attracted to leftover food and edible waste.
Most raids in residential areas happen where houses are not manned, and sometimes in the presence of children and women.
Ecologically, most of the areas around towns have no food and fruits for baboons, hence (they) rely on waste from residential areas.
The problem worsens during the hot and dry season when food is less available.
</blockquote>
Hwange town is surrounded by areas with a high population of wild animals such as the Hwange Colliery Concession, private farms, state land and protected areas under Zimparks and this means that animals such as baboons stray into residential areas, Chibaya added.

Baboons Wreak Havoc In Drought-prone Binga, Hwange

A baboon seen in this video being carried by a group of men reportedly caused a stair in Glendale yesterday. The baboon reportedly stormed out of a house in the small town of Glendale and people reportedly chased it and paraded it on the streets after they finally hunted it down <a href="https://bulawayo24.com/news/national/186298">according to Bulawayo24</a>

WATCH: A Huge Crowd Parades A Baboon They Reportedly Caught After It Stormed Out Of A House In Glendale

Former MDC Official, and economic commentator, Eddie Cross has lambasted what he calls a lousy and corrupt government.
In an article published on NewZimbabwe.com, Cross said that the major problem facing the country is an inept leadership and failure to deal with corrupt senior government officials. Below are excerpts from the opinion piece:
<blockquote>We seem to have been putting up with lousy Government, corruption, nonsensical monetary and macroeconomic policies forever. First, we had the Rhodesian Government from 1960 onwards which resulted in the imposition of mandatory UN sanctions and then the liberation war. Were these inevitable? I do not think so but with the national leadership we had at that time, both were unavoidable.
… If you put a mealie cob in a can with a hole the size of a hand in one end and put it where the baboons can find it, a baboon will put his hand in the hole to grasp the cob – and will not let go to get his hand out even when threatened. Many of our leaders are just like that baboon – they have their hands in the till and cannot let go even if they are threatened.
There can be no progress in this country until our leadership starts to put our national house in order and compels all those Ministers and Officials or even just politically connected individuals, to take their hands out of the till and allow us to repair the damage that they have done to us a Nation over the past seven decades.</blockquote>
