From the Johannesburg World / Places
Regina Mundi Church
Visit a working Soweto church whose role as a refuge, meeting place and setting for public testimony gives its vast interior an importance beyond its modest brick exterior.
Johannesburg / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Johannesburg with our travel partners.
Regina Mundi holds a central place in Soweto’s political and religious history. Its interior bears traces of police violence during the 1976 uprising, while later public hearings led by Archbishop Desmond Tutu added another chapter. A local guide can connect these stories with the artworks and building. Arrange visitor access around worship, treating services and the congregation’s needs as the priority.
