“The EMS Foundation’s financial commitment to the Overstrand geographical area is substantial and we have proudly invested a lot of time, energy and money into the Overstrand community. We are committed to finding solutions for the creation of a better South Africa for everyone. The Overstrand is one of the areas of where we have put our vision into action.
The protection of the vulnerable Chacma baboon species in the Overstrand is extremely important to our Foundation. We rely upon the expertise of ecologists, zoologists, social scientists, primatologists, economists and environmental lawyers as well as the collection of real-time data recorded daily related to baboon behaviour in Pringle Bay and Hermanus. This data has been collected by our affiliated organization, KVET – in Pringle Bay since December 2022 and in Hermanus since April 2025.
Of urgent importance to the wellbeing and welfare of the baboons in Hermanus, our Foundation hereby offers to fund the cost of removing the inhumane collars from the baboons in Hermanus which were fitted by HWS, a company previously contracted by the Overstrand Municipality.
The offer to fund the process to have these collars removed by our experienced veterinarian is based on our concern for the baboons. Our offer is supported by a number of wildlife protection and conservation organisations in the Overstrand Municipal area and all over South Africa who are equally concerned about the wellbeing and welfare of the baboons in the Overstrand.
