Nelson Mandela Square

Nelson Mandela Square extends over 1000 meters in the center of Johannesburg, featuring shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues surrounding the central plaza.

Originally named Sandton Square in 1994, the space received its current name in March 2004 with the installation of a six-meter bronze statue of Nelson Mandela.

The square functions as a community gathering space where visitors can explore South African heritage through art installations, markets, and regular cultural performances.

The square connects directly to Sandton City shopping complex and provides extensive parking facilities, with multiple public transportation options available for visitors.

The central bronze statue, weighing 2.5 tons, stands as the first public monument of Nelson Mandela installed in South Africa.
