Area InformationRivonia is one of the younger suburbs in Johannesburg and forms part of the city’s Northern Suburbs. This suburb, also known as Edenburg, used to be mainly farmland and consisted of wide-open spaces. As quaint as could be, it consisted of a supermarket, garage, hardware store, some restaurants, and a chemist and doctor. It used to be known as a horse-riding town and residents often enjoyed picnics along the rivers in an area known as The Village.
Development started about 30 years ago and that is when Rivonia real estate picked up speed. Most of the farmland has been divided up to form family homes, cluster homes, and townhouses.
Adding to the rich history of Rivonia, the suburb boasts major events that have happened in the country. During the Apartheid years, Mandela used to run the ANC group from a house in Winston Road. This area is also where Mandela was arrested and held in prison at the local police station.
