ABOUT THE AREA Sandton City, situated in the business district, is one of the largest shopping centers on the continent. Nelson Mandela Square, marked by a towering, 20-foot sculpture of the famed anti-apartheid leader and former South African president, adjoins Sandton City. Its fashionable stores, restaurants, cafes, Euro-style piazza and performance venue, Theatre on the Square, make it a center of social life. Close by is the glitzy Diamond Walk, the go-to destination for flagship designer showrooms. Three parks offer sculptured gardens and tranquil green spaces to enjoy the sunny, mild climate. The region has a cluster of well-established enclaves as well as fast-growing developments with a breadth of property styles: gated estates, luxury towers, town homes on jacaranda-lined streets, magnificent mansions situated at the ends of long, winding driveways and grand homes with outbuildings for staff quarters. Many neighborhoods in Sandton are situated near top schools, golf courses and greenbelts. Sandton is an upscale commercial and residential district north of the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. It forms part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. The name of the city came from the combination of two of its suburbs, Sandown and Bryanston. Millions of South African safaris, shopping sprees, and beach holidays start in the epicentre of Johannesburg, where many of the most glamorous hotels in Sandton and other areas can be found. In the square of a huge shopping mall in Sandton stands the six metre high statue of Nelson Mandela (just his shoes are a metre in length), sculpted by Kobus Hattingh and Jacob Maponyane. The statue is surrounded by restaurants, a public library and a theatre. More than 10 000 businesses operate in the area. It is hard to believe that this sophisticated district, home to the top investment banks, financial consultants, the Johannesburg stock exchange, and one of the biggest convention centres on the continent, was but mere sandy horse trails where the ‘mink and manure set’ lived on wealthy, large estates 50 years ago – small wonder it is known as one of the most opulent areas in Johannesburg. Sandton started life at the beginning of the century as the suburb of gentlemen – properties were no smaller than one morgen (just less than one hectare). Life has fundamentally not changed, although the landscape has radically altered. Gone are the farms and the sedate way of existence for the white upper class, to be replaced by glass and chrome buildings, and South Africa’s emerging black middle-class: the ‘empowerment kugels’, according to author Sarah Britten, do lunch not in Soweto but in Sandton.
