One of the poisoned monkeys.

The Caribbean Beach Club will be opening a case with the police following toxicology reports confirming that monkeys had been poisoned in the estate recently.
A total of five monkeys were poisoned at the Caribbean Beach Club estate near Kosmos in the past month.
During the last poisoning incident at the beginning of June, three sick monkeys, showing signs of poisoning, were discovered in the same area where two poisoned monkeys had been found two weeks prior. A dead bush baby was also found in the same area.
Hartbeespoort Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) managed to save one of the monkeys. The carcasses were sent to Onderstepoort and according to a toxicology report last week, the monkeys had been poisoned with a pesticide.
“The necropsy results in conjunction with the analysis of the gastric content for pesticides is supportive of a diagnosis of pesticide toxicosis. Pesticides are used in the malicious poisoning of domestic and wild animals. Based on the history, it appears that malicious poisoning should be considered in this case. Based on the toxicological analysis, the pesticide used was most likely an aldicarb, commonly known as ‘two-step’ under various trade names including Temik. These formulations are easily obtainable from a variety of commercial shops including co-ops,” the report from Onderstepoort states.
The general manager of Caribbean Beach Club told Kormorant that management had communicated the toxicology report to the estate. “Our communication stated the following: “It is clear from the report that the monkeys were poisoned. The report will be handed over to the police and a case will be opened to be investigated by SAPS. You are consequently advised to refrain from feeding the monkeys as it is against our rules but more importantly, you will be leaving yourself open to being aligned with this crime.”
Concerned residents of the estate welcomed management’s decision to open a case. “We are hoping that the NSPCA, HAWS as well as the Feral Society take some form of action or else this matter will just be forgotten until the next time. The more spotlight we place on the incident, the more pressure, we hope, is placed on the culprit. The residents on the scene need to place on record the exact events of that day including the times and exact place where the monkeys were found, the times that residents noticed food being placed outside, by whom, and the comments some residents made about the monkeys as well as the calls that were made shortly thereafter,” said Caren Sutherns.
