Mall of the South is a regional shopping centre in Aspen Hills, southern Johannesburg, at the corner of Swartkoppies Road and Kliprivier Drive. Owned by Redefine Properties, it covers about 67,866 square metres of retail space and holds more than 160 stores across fashion, groceries, beauty and sport (source: Occupi). Residents of Glenvista, Meyersdal and the wider Johannesburg South area come here because they can find major national and international brands without driving north to Sandton.
The mall spreads across two levels. Natural light runs through its wide walkways, which keeps the place feeling open even on busy Saturdays. Fashion chains and sportswear outlets sit alongside supermarkets, so many visitors pair a clothing run with the weekly grocery shop. The food offering leans casual, with fast-food counters, family-friendly sit-down restaurants and coffee shops. Families can settle in for a relaxed lunch between stores without dressing up or booking.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekday mornings are the quietest time to visit. Crowds peak on Saturday afternoons, at month-end paydays (from around the 25th), and during the December holiday season. Parking is free and plentiful, though spaces near the main entrances fill quickly at peak times. Trading hours vary on public holidays, so check them before you go. Most visitors drive, using Swartkoppies Road or Kliprivier Drive. The Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve lies a short drive away if you want hiking trails after your shopping.
