A Medal with a Story

Every participant received a special medal, uniquely crafted from the track rope replaced during the 2024 annual maintenance shutdown. These medals are not just tokens of achievement but symbols of sustainability and the journey we’ve taken together.

A Medal with a Story

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.

Once again, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the Cableway Charity Challenge 2025 a memorable experience.

Let’s continue to move forward together, making a difference step by step.
