I proposed a reserve, electrically fenced, stretching from the Cape Point side of Smitswinkel Bay, along Plateau Road and down to Scarborough, more than three years ago, where these troops and the Plateau Road troop would be free to roam, breed and forage under the supervision of animal behaviourists and veterinarians. There would be the option of guided tours in secure electric vehicles, which, like the Boulders penguin colony, which generates some R350 million annually, would be used for their care. But as usual, some half-baked scheme is going to be tried.
