About Sandton

Sandton is Joburg's money end, packed with banks, malls, and the JSE, all sitting up on the highveld about 1700m above sea level. Get there via the M1 from the CBD, William Nicol from Randburg way, or the N1 if you're coming off the Ben Schoeman. OR Tambo is about 30km out. Locals nip in from Delporton or Zithobeni, while long-haulers roll in from as far as Giyani or Komatipoort. Over 100 fast EV chargers dot the area, and Nelson Mandela Square's giant bronze statue is the spot everyone stops for a pic.
