More than four months on, we’re still looking for the culprit who almost stopped our hearts on top of Table Mountain!

On November 5th, last year, Table Mountain Aerial Cableway held a sunset special function for their top suppliers, at the Table Mountain Café on the summit. Just before the sun sank below the horizon, we were joined by a shadow hovering above us…

Football fans across South Africa and around the world are learning the diski dance to prepare for the FIFA World Cup™ kick-off in June, and Table Mountain Aerial Cableway employees are no exception!

As part of TMAC’s preparations, which started several months ago, staff members have been honing their diski dance skills – and sharing them on the World Wide Web.

Five Table Mountain Aerial Cableway staff members attended a blogging workshop at their offices on Wednesday afternoon, along with three employees from Splash PR and Media Consultants.

The workshop was held by Flow Communications, responsible for co-ordinating Cableway’s website content, including the blog.

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).
