So glad we stopped by this church. They say it was one of the places that egged the revolution on for the downtrodden of Soweto. It was so beautiful inside, I hope it continues to stay full with the faithful. The surroundings are a little sad (poverty). The stained glass inside the church was amazing. Images of Mr Mandela leading people, mixed in with religious.

Big and beautiful church building. Also a covid 19 vaccination centre.

Regina Mundi (Queen of the World)...one of the most visited tourist attrvisitedin Soweto.

Holy place of worship. This special Sunday was lit. All Arch-Bishops and Bishops present, and the Cardinal!

Iconic church in the heart of Soweto. This landmark church has stood the test of time. It is still in a good condition after all these years. Parking space is limited.

The church is spacious, safe parking space. The congregantd are friendly and hospitable. Great place to worship if you are Catholic.

It was funeral service of one of our Priests. Father Bongani Anthony Sithole. It was a beautiful and dignified send off. Our music, St. Cecilians topped it all. Everything was well organized. The alter, sitting arrangement, microphones and catering. But the video camera man was facing one side and was not turning around. I guess he took the most important area, the front part.

History weighs heavily here. It's not often that you don't bullet holes in a place of worship. The tour is well worth the time.

Very interesting history to this Church,we got a very informative tour

Quite amazing being here, feeling the energy of the "People's Cathedral". Gave me chills seeing the bullet holes. Standing in the same spot where some of the most influential people of the anti-apartheid movement, and those still fighting injustice today, have stood. The Black Madonna is beautiful addition to this church, if you look closely, details of the community are present.

Traditional Catholic Church I grew up in as an alter boy doesn't have the same spark and big crowds lost to charismatic christian churches. But still maintains same old tradition and values.

Certainly a lot of history but R50 per person entrance fee a bit much. Never had to pay before to visit a church.

Breathtaking and inspiring!! Such history that is held within this structure and visible marks from the struggle against Apartheid. Highly suggest visiting through tour service/guide.

It was great to spend weekend in church enjoying choral music

Specious church hall, though the alter is aloef. The church must review parking facility. For the size of the church, ablootion facility needs revision. It is a church with a lot of history. A venue of resistance to apartheid state.

Beautiful place of worship with a rich history in the Anti-apartheid movement

If you want to understand real history of South Africa you must stop to this church. Luck we still have this site where good guides can explain you

Very Safe and a Beautiful Church

The very heart and soul of SOWETO. The local guide, Danny, carries 30 years of history in his head. His narrative is both interesting, fun for kids and very eloquent. Yet, it doesn’t hide the pain of the uprising and the struggle for freedom. The walls and roof carry the scars of the apartheid, bullet holes and shattered panes. Interesting murals and one of only 3 BLACK MADONNA’S in the world. Visited on a Sunday. Service was just done. Families chatting outside while kids played. Many famous people have visited these hallowed walls. Be sure to visit , and when you do, support the local community.

A beautiful house of God with soweto uprising history its even a tour house

That is my my favourite place if worship. We were informed that you can come vaccinate and check your Covid 19 status anytime. Cheers Regina Mundi - you lead by example🙏🙏

9AM Mass was not in English. If you are a visitor please take note. The singing was BEAUTIFUL!!!!

It's not always open so it's sad that I can't take in the beauty of the place on the inside

Regina Mundi Catholic Church, not only boasts a remarkable history but also stands as one of the largest and most impactful churches in Soweto. Its strategic location in Rockville makes it easily accessible, while its spacious compound offers ample parking and even a park that can be used for additional vehicle accommodation.

Historical and heritage Site Beautiful architecture and great for tours

The service was extremely excellent

Progressive church that played a huge role in ending apartheid.

Love this church and it's in my home town

(Translated by Google) A church in the heart of Soweto. Very significant in the difficult history of freedom of this megalopolis of shacks, one with the Johannesburg of the buildings. (Original) Una chiesa nel cuore di Soweto. Molto significativa nella difficile storia della libertà di questa città megalopoli di baracche, tutt’uno con la Johannesburg dei palazzi.

Its nice place

Historicaly emotional for where SA is today

Let's preserve our historical sites

Beautiful place of worship

Historical church!

Monumental, historic and holy place.

The church is enjoyable and the people are too friendly

Atmosphere is great

Visit the place for yourself and see. Has a museum and a confession booth. If you're an apartheid apologist and the museum somehow speaks to your conscious then just ask the priest for a confession and do your penance right there. And Voila! You now have a one way ticket to the Pearly Gates.

It was well organized,except the hosting(catering part). But I really enjoyed myself.

It's not only the history but the church itself. Add it to your tour! And let yourself show around and listen to the story the guide has to tell you

Such an amazing place... This is a true gem in the history of South Africa. A definite must see. It's such a beautiful place.

Lovely spacious church

A great place for prayer. A spiritual place

Prominent Landmark in Soweto as it housed a lot lives in times of uncertainty.

(Translated by Google) Has history to be known (Original) Tem história para ser conhecida

Peaceful and serene

Place of Prayer and Worship Beautiful Catholics together

At home

Went for funeral service

Part of our heritage. Receptionist not so helpful. Guides are funny and very knowledgeable. They also went out of their way to show us much more about the immediate surroundings of the church, especially the shebeen wish my guests had heard about. Relaxing and entertaining.

Loved it.
