The Aerial Cableway at Hartbeespoort Dam, which has been non-operational for the past seven years, will reopen in July after a refurbishment.
The original cableway, which was built in 1973, fell into disrepair due to lack of proper maintenance and was subsequently closed in 2005.
In 2010, Zargadox, a private initiative with the vision of establishing Hartbeespoort as a key tourism hub, bought the dilapidated cableway.
The cableway has been refitted and re-engineered with new headgear and cabling, and features the latest touch-screen programming with auto cabin spacing, an auto conveyer system and state-of-the-art cabin locators and switches.
The 14 new cable cars, each able to carry six passengers, can transport 300 people an hour.
Facilities have been designed to encourage group events, conferences, banquets, product launches, weddings and family events and include two modern restaurants and two gift shops, one at the top and the other at the base station.
The cableway will be open seven days a week from 08h00 to 16h30.
Proposed fees: Adults R120 and children (4-13) R60
