Mzansi man tells story of having Baboon big sister
Five years before Ruben was born, his in-love parents adopted an estranged baboon in a neighbour’s home. The couple made the rare choice of raising a baboon as their own baby.

Baboons are closest to their mothers in the wilderness until their fur grows. Ruben’s mom did just that for Cindy and became her mother throughout her life.
They experienced difficulty raising Cindy for the first 16 years of her life, just like any human. She would steal food, mess around the house, and invent other mischievous activities.
Cindy would dive into her famous hiding place behind the curtain to show she understood her naughty ways. The parents would have her wear a diaper to keep her from leaving a trail of poop around the house.
Ruben shared a three-minute clip on TikTok, explaining the fascinating story of her parents’ honeymoon baby. He captioned the lovely clip:
"Part 1 | The Life Story of Cindy the Baboon."

Netizens react to man having baboon older sister
Briefly News chatted with a big-hearted dog lover, Kwezikazi Mjuza to better understand the beautiful connection between animals and humans. Mjuza highlighted:
“I’ve always loved animals, but my love intensified when I had my own dog. I grew up with dogs sleeping outside and promised never to treat a dog like that. I realised that they were living things; they had emotions. A dog would be a product of how you groom them. I treat my dog like my baby; he sleeps in my bed, and he has his bed and set of toys. Animal lovers are big-hearted because you get nothing tangible from loving an animal.”
As Ruben sat to tell Cindy’s tale, she sat beside him, telling her story correctly. He shared sweet photos of her childhood, which warmed many hearts.
Netizens appreciated the official introduction to Cindy’s life and shared lovely comments:
@Rudiger Smoot was focused on the sister:
"When you said she was a handful, Cindy raised her eyebrows."
@Hadassah Twamoneny A shared that:
"Cindy raised you. Cindy is like, 'as you tell my story, leave nothing out."
@timcanproductions appreciated the story time:
"Love to hear her stories, your mom has great patience lol but the reward is a lifetime of love from Cindy."
