Home to a huge variety of sought-after stores and brands, in the heart of Africa’s richest square mile, Nelson Mandela Square is arguably the best place to shop in Sandton.
Fringing a large open-air piazza dotted with bars and restaurants, a sophisticated, leisurely atmosphere sets the tone. The striking, six-metre-tall bronze statue of Mandela, sculpted by Kobus Hattingh and Jacob Maponyane, watches over visitors.
Nelson Mandela Square connects to Sandton City and Legacy Corner, which form one of the largest luxury retail complexes on the continent.
