- I'm exploring Sandton City Mall in Sandton - Johannesburg Metropolitan South Africa.
Sandton City is a large shopping mall situated in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa.[2] It was built and owned by property development company Rapp and Maister, in partnership with brothers Hilliard and Eli Leibowitz, and was later taken over by Liberty Life (now part of Liberty Holdings Limited).
The centre opened to the public on 12 September 1973[1] and has a gross leasable area of 128,000 m2 (1,380,000 sq ft) of retail space. The office space combined with the Sandton Sun Hotel increase the total area to 215,000 m2 (2,310,000 sq ft). Together, Sandton City and the adjacent Nelson Mandela Square (formerly Sandton Square) form one of the largest retail complexes in Africa with shops such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Patek Phillipe, Dolce & Gabbana and other exclusive boutiques - sometimes referred to as "the richest square mile in Africa"

@@kimmie1957 fantastic I never visited some of places u mentioned there 😄💔 but I know they are beautiful as u mentioned and I wish to visit US
The "mall" is one-stop shopping in South Africa. You have banks, supermarkets, mall shopping, theatres.
Oh yes that mall has everything. It kinda reminds of some malls in the US where you have to go through the whole mall to get to one particular store. I don't recall seeing many entrances.
This is a fabulous tour of the Sandton City Mall. Never been and I have enjoyed it through you. Much blessings ❤ from a Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and UK 🇬🇧 subscriber!!
Again Thank you

Good selection of high end stores 👍🏼.
I think so too! You can get everything you need at this mall at all price points.
Mall is huge!!!❤
It is!!!!!

Tyson's corner, give it up for the DMV and NoVa. One day I hope to visit SA too.
I think this area is somewhat similar to Tyson.
Hi thanks j special for as who can't waĺk to expressing such wonderful places well done 🎉
My pleasure 😊
I really love Sandton it is really a beautiful place to live in ❤❤
I agree!!
Loved this Mall. It wasnt a big suprise to navigate through Dubai Mall after this Mall
I enjoyed it too. It's a very big mall and sometimes you go through it and still miss important stores.
Did you get a change to visit Mall of Africa?
No unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check out the Mall of Africa. I heard it's really nice.
@NomadicJayye2021…. Is the “Hard Rock Hotel” connected to that mall?
Yes! The mall is basically a combination of two malls that is connected by a sky bridge. Sandton City is on one side of the mall and Nelson Mandela Square is on the other side of the mall where the "Hard Rock Hotel" is located.
@@NomadicJayye2021I stayed at the “Hard Rock Hotel” in “Panama City Panama” and it also was connected to a mall. And just like the mall that you visited when you were in Sandton, Johannesburg, that connected mall in Panama was also very nice along with the hotel being off the chain beautiful. I look forward to my upcoming trip to South Africa/Johannesburg/Sandton next month (November 29-December 10)
@@DreLBrown529 The Nelson Mandela side of that mall is beautiful. Here's a snippet from its website "Nelson Mandela Square, adjoined to Sandton City, celebrates African hospitality and international style. Home to some of South Africa’s finest restaurants, exclusive couture and designer labels and a European-style piazza, Nelson Mandela Square offers chic sophistication, culture and glamour all under the African sun.It is one of the most fashionable destinations in Johannesburg, offering more than 60 exclusive shops and boutiques, as well as fine dining experiences and sidewalk cafes."
❤
Did this mall undergo changes as it looks someifferent wince 2014 when I last visited.
My understanding is that there were some renovation on the whole mall done in 2016/2017.
It was extended in 2011, I was working there
I've been here once,, as a child
Oh.....so you are definitely due for a return visit.
@@NomadicJayye2021 Not in the near future
old money is Houghton in Johannesburg
Oh yeah.....I did a bus tour that took us through that area and it looks like old money. LOL
Edgar’s is our Macy’s
ahhhh....so Edgar's is your equivalent. It was hoping it wasn't Woolworth.
Have you been to the Mall of Africa?
No unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check out the Mall of Africa. I heard it's really nice.
Definitely check ✔️ it
@@NomadicJayye2021 you didn’t miss anything plus has a lot of shadiness about it comes to phones getting jacked.
Jaye I’m presently in Sandton, are you able to break bread at Mandela Square on Wednesday?
Hey Coolbreeze, I see you are making your way around the country. Unfortunately I'm no no longer in SA. I'm actually in another country in Africa to be revealed later. I hope you are enjoying yourself.
Break bread. How beautiful!
South africa is the most developed country in africa by far ,Nigerians just talk too much.
Oh yes South Africa is much more developed than I anticipated.
Am Jamaican and I laugh when I hear Nigerians thinks they are on SA level..I always knew SA is 1st world and 3rd in one.Only Egypt,Libya and Morocco there with SA
Despite claims by Nigeria as the biggest economy looking at infrastructure no country in Africa comes close to South Africa.
@@Holdustogether04 Egypt is oil money rich .!remember South Africa also has some serious slums.
@@westkingston3135when it comes to infrastructure, no country in Africa comes close to South Africa, and South Africa is the only country in Africa with more than 500 malls and South Africa has 2000+ malls
Please, Who is the president of africa ?
Obviously you haven't watch all my videos.
Typical of you Africa has 54 states its not one country
@@akhonazasembo3016 I guess you couldn't wait to pounce either! We all have a slip of tongue. I'm sure you didn't mean "54 states".
Is Felix tshisekedi
What is the language spoken in africa ? So what happened to the animals i aint see none of them 🥺🥺🥺
13:40 You walked past the biltong kiosk. That is a very SOUTH AFRICAN delicacy. U didnt mention that!
Even though it's in the video, I don't think I noticed it to check it out. What does it sell?
@@NomadicJayye2021Biltong = Dried and cured meat in different varieties. Along the differrentiation of type: Beef, chicken, ostrich, wild game eg antelope called Kudu and Springbok (which happens to be our national animal and emblem for many a sporting code, such as the national rugby team). Then there are different flavours: plain, chilli, peppercorn, chutney etc. It is a South African delicacy, often preserved with vinegar, spices, coriander etc.
In case u missed out, here again is the timestamp: 13:40
@@ochrechap Oh wow....I now remember that kiosk! Since I made this video, I've been back to this mall at least 3 times and saw the items at this kiosk and wondered who was buying this type of food because I have never seen anything like it a mall in North or South America. And now you telling me it's a national delicacy...interesting. I'm thinking I saw this same type of kiosk at the V&A mall in Cape Town? Is it a chain store?
@@NomadicJayye2021 Bilting is to be found EVERYWHERE, all over South Africa. U could even purchase it from express stores at petrol stations.
No it's not. It's a minority delicacy
A few years ago Sandton was the epitome of elegance and opulence. After covid a lot of those shiny buildings sit empty. A lot of companies now have their people working from home. The well manicured gardens on West St, and on Rivonia are just now a bunch of weeds. The place is losing it's luster, but still impressive.
Covid really did a number on us. Not sure why we're taking so long to get back in the saddle.
When last were you there because I live in Forways and traffic has picked up to pre covid levels. Activities there have picked up.
@@zusibone I am talking about empty buildings and overgrown weeds, and you are talking about traffic. You might want to do some research about empty office space in Sandton and then you come back and tell me about picked up traffic.
@@chocon8818 Again that's also a lie because most of the office buildings in Sandton are already changed to residential properties and booming. Clearly there was an oversupply of office use instead of residential use property offering. You made it sound like the country is in a blink of collapse which is untrue.
@zusibone its always one 😅
Do not believe all the hyperbolic crap you hear in Africa in general, but South Africa in particular. When my little brother was a grad student at University of Witwatersrand, the showed him a little lake, and proudly informed them this was the biggest man made lake in Africa. When he informed them of the inland ocean called Lake Kariba, that was made in 1956 to 1958, and occupies the biggest part of the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, they were ignorant of it, and quite perplexed. Two days ago, I was watching a video on TH-cam about the plan to create the Grand Inga project, and someone stated that the Inga Falls on the Congo River are the biggest in Africa. Again, on the same Zambezi river on which the Kariba Dam sits, we have the Musi O Tunya Falls, which are not only the biggest Falls in the world, are classified as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, and make Niagara Falls between the US and Canada look like an overflowing bathroom sink, and therefore make the Inga Falls pale into oblivion by comparison. These South Africans do not know how much money Nigerian billionaires have stolen. Now, they are in the process of using a small part of it to build a their own Dubai out there in the Atlantic Ocean, which is going to be called Eko City....
Sandton being the richest square mile in Africa is not by South Africans own upliftment is by standard... Rated by the world's Bank. Is regarding wealth. There is no square mile richer than Sandton in Africa... Just accept reality.
Don't come at me I'm not fighting, I'm just telling the truth.
I know you want to defend Ur city... But it just don't work like that. Nigeria is the richest in Africa and South Africa is the most developed in Africa.. so what's a big deal 😞.
And also the number of rich people in Johannesburg are at 14 400 compared to the second city which is Cairo of Egypt at 7 400 and the third one being Cape town at 7 200 so this should show you some light... That Sandton which makes most of Joburg wealth is big in Africa in terms of wealth.
