Hiker raises funds for rescuers who saved her life
Cape Argus
|May 02, 2025
RONDEBOSCH resident, Tania Morkel, 65, is scaling Table Mountain multiple times to raise money for the Wilderness Search and Rescue (WSAR) that saved her life after she fell while hiking Table Mountain 18 months ago.
Morkel has been running the fund-raising campaign since the end of March, dubbed 64x64 Table Mountain Ascents, where she ascends Table Mountain 64 times to raise funds.
“As I slowly regained my strength over the following months, I felt a deep desire to give back to WSAR, the team that was instrumental in saving my life in the initial stages,” she said.
She is also raising funds for Table Mountain National Park, which she hopes will enhance footpaths and signage to inform hikers of potential dangers.
