That seems a very wierd place to get lost.

I've crawled all over the back of it and you would be very hard pressed to come to any harm unless you did something very foolish.

There are only really a couple of bits which aren't just a strong walk.

Hope they are found happy and well.

Unless the crime infested country has claimed another 2 victims?

"Cape Town is known to be one of the most beautifully located and culturally active cities of South Africa, but is also the least safe place to be. As it is a big city with many different parts, certain sections of it are safe, but others have high rates of all sorts of crimes, including kidnapping, murder and robbery. There are also staggering rates of rape and car hijacking in Cape Town and the rest of South Africa, and gangs and drug warfare are also a reality."

I would be extremely surprised. No robber is either going to pay for te cable car or climb for hours up the back when the same pickings can be had much more easily at sea level and with escape routes.

It's either a confusion and they are back down or they've done something silly and fallen.
