Bubbly Barbara Pahlana: Cool under pressure
19 January 2012When Barbara Pahlana was a child growing up in Langa, Cape Town’s oldest township, she would look up at Table Mountain and dream of being on the top. “When I was a kid, I used to look up at the cable cars and wish I was in one. But it was just a dream.”

Table Mountain Cableway reaches a record number of visitors
11 January 2012The Cableway ended 2011 on a high note when it recorded an impressive 116 000 visitors this past December. Table Mountain’s recent New7Wonders of Nature accolade, stretches of good weather conditions, as well as the Cableway’s growing online ticket sales (with shorter ticket office queues as a result) meant that December was an ideal month for visitors to the Mother City’s famous mountain.
