Creating disks for fridge magnets out of our track rope

  Return to blog

This steel cable, removed during our 2024 annual maintenance period, has been upcycled into a lasting piece of Cableway history. The track rope cable has been cut into discs by residents of The Ark – City of Refuge, a Cape Town-based organisation that supports people affected by homelessness and unemployment. This collaboration gives new life to both material and people. It turns an industrial cable into something deeply symbolic – a token of resilience, dignity and communal purpose.
