Nelson Mandela Square

Pause in Sandton’s open-air piazza beside the six-metre Nelson Mandela statue and the adjoining city-centre complex.

What to expect

The square is an open-air piazza in the middle of Sandton’s business district, with a six-metre bronze statue of Nelson Mandela as its landmark. It adjoins Sandton City and mixes the outdoor plaza with restaurants, shops and event space. The square itself works as a short public-space stop; the retail and dining complex is a separate, paid part of the visit.

Entry and costs

The operator describes an open-air piazza and lists no general admission ticket. Shopping, dining and ticketed events are separate costs; event security can temporarily restrict access.

Visitor notes

There is no single published opening schedule for the piazza. Stores and restaurants follow their own hours, which are not the same as plaza access. Check the square’s event notices before travelling for a specific date; the location is in central Sandton and is connected to Sandton City.

Opening hours

Date-specific hours are not available for this place. Check the official page for the day you plan to visit.
