Kataza is a chacma baboon who has cast into sharp focus the City of Cape Town s baboon management programme.
He was returned to his Slangkop troop in November, but has failed to integrate.
His new home will be a rehabilitation centre in Limpopo.
Cape Nature has approved permits to export Kataza - the problem chacma baboon - to the Riverside Rehabilitation Centre in Limpopo, where he will join eight other chacma baboons from the Cape Peninsula.
It s understood that Kataza will be captured on Sunday.
The Cape of Good Hope Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) – which launched the application - this week threatened legal action against the City of Cape Town if the Kataza debacle is repeated.

Cape Town - The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has filed an application with Cape Nature for permission to capture and translocate beloved Kommetjie baboon Kataza to a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Limpopo.
This followed a meeting between the City and the Cape of Good Hope SPCA on Tuesday last week to discuss welfare concerns associated with Kataza (SK11), his lack of integration with his natal troop and continued raiding behaviours.
“The Cape of Good Hope SPCA confirmed at this meeting that should the situation not improve, they will submit an application to CapeNature, as the mandated authority in terms of the Nature Conservation Ordinance, for a permit to have SK11 translocated to a rehabilitation centre where he can be released back into the wild, once he has been rehabilitated,” said the City.
