What makes Maponya Mall unique is the careful selection of food, entertainment, banking and shopping available. It blends the world-class choice and convenience of stores like Edgars, Pick 'n Pay and Woolworths, with the local flavour of some of Soweto's boutique businesses that offer professional services, such as optometry, with bespoke fashion stores and beauty salons. This is complimented by some of South Africa's favourite dining options such as News Café, Primi Piatti, and the Mugg & Bean. Visionary Richard Maponya bought the land in the 1980's and waited until the dawning of the African Renaissance and new dispensation to give his dream wings. His dream was to create the first, bespoke, mega-shopping centre for the people of Soweto - and in September of 2007 - his dream became a reality.
Maponya Mall is also home to the Hector Pieterson statue, a gift from the people of Sweden and South Africa to the people of Soweto, to commemorate the historic Soweto riots - and attracts people from every corner of the globe who appreciate the fusion of African culture and international sophistication. Maponya Mall is on the Old Potchestroom Road in Soweto - the main arterial route through this bustling township - in the suburb of Kliptown. It is easily accessible via the Klipspruit River Road, the Roodepoort Road, and the Southern Road to Kliptown, and is within close proximity to the station and the Klipspruit Valley Road and is close to Soweto's primary taxi rank at Baragwanath. |
