Station in focus: Regina Mundi

Thursday, 28 May 2009

The Regina Mundi station will be situated on Chris Hani Road in Soweto, close to picturesque Thokoza Park; famous club, The Rock; and Pimville Golf Club.

Regin Mundi

The station was aptly named Regina Mundi after Soweto’s largest Catholic Church. Not only has the vast church always been a spiritual haven for thousands of Sowetans, it has also played a pivotal role in the township's history of resistance against apartheid. Both before and after the dramas of the Soweto uprisings, Regina Mundi - whose name in Latin means Queen of the World - quietly offered its protection to those struggling for liberation. When political meetings were banned, people sought the safety of Regina Mundi to form their political strategies. What started out as 'church services' often ended up as political rallies.

People from Protea Glen, Chiawelo and surrounding areas will be able to take feeder buses to Regina Mundi station and from there catch Rea Vaya.
