“Mossel Bay Municipality congratulates the directors of the Mossel Bay Zipline for this innovative venture that we are opening today,” said Mossel Bay Executive Mayor Alderman Harry Levendal at the official opening on Saturday, January 25. “Their dreams have become a reality. Their new venture – the longest single line zipline over the ocean – has since become a bucket list must do for thousands of other people – people who will visit Mossel Bay to do so.”
The first person to ride the zipline was municipal manager of Mossel Bay, Advocate Thys Giliomee.
