About Protea Glen Mall

Protea Glen Mall is a regional convenience shopping centre in Protea Glen, Soweto. It opened in 2012 to give one of Soweto’s fastest-growing residential areas its own major retail centre, so residents no longer had to travel far for groceries, banking, clothing and government services.
