The Go Cape Town card is becoming increasingly popular among tourists flocking to Cape Town; it’s poised to be the ticket of choice to city attractions for soccer fans in the Mother City for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.

The card is your passport to amazing sights and experiences in Cape Town, including the iconic Table Mountain and its ever-popular Aerial Cableway.

When Mike Williams started working for Table Mountain Aerial Cableway (TMAC) in February 1990, he thought the job was just a stepping stone. But, 20 years later, he is the Cableway’s operations manager and he plans to stick around for some time to come.

Williams relocated from KwaZulu Natal to take a construction job in Cape Town in late 1989, but when he got to the Mother City, the developer had sold the land. He then applied for a job at TMAC, thinking it would be temporary, but he soon fell in love with the mountain.

It took Cape Town resident Chantal Voegt a full 38 years to get to the top of Table Mountain – but it was worth the wait!

On February 11, 2010, Chantal’s family surprised her with a trip to the summit on her 38th birthday and Table Mountain Aerial Cableway spoilt her with a free return ticket (in terms of the Cableway’s special birthday offer).

Table Mountain is arguably South Africa’s most photographed landmark, and its burgeoning support on photo-sharing website Flickr is proof of its status.

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway’s Flickr group is growing steadily. It already boasts more than 115 members, who have submitted more than 300 images both of, and from, the cable cars and the mountain.

There’s no better way to learn about the wonders of Table Mountain than from its summit – and scholars from Grade 1 to Grade 12 are, for the ninth year in a row, being offered the chance to do just that.

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway’s Class in the Clouds programme kicked off again this morning. It will see thousands of pupils exploring the iconic destination as part of a one-of-a-kind school outing. Teachers have the opportunity to take youngsters out of the classrooms, and introduce them to the fascinating environment on top of the mountain.
