In Other News – Three teenagers rescued off Table Mountain

The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway has warned hikers not to climb in inclement weather after three teenagers had to be rescued off the mountain yesterday. They were trapped at the summit before cableway workers reached them. Spokesperson Giselle Esau said the cableway was closed and unavailable for a “quick and easy exit”.

“We are trying to caution people from hiking, especially in this awful weather,” she said. “We don’t want hikers to expect the cableway to be open as we are still closed in level 3.

“The weather turned something awful and (the teenagers) were stuck. They called us and luckily we were having meetings at the mountain and were able to bring them down, but we are not there every day.” See More on this…
