Boksburg
Boksburg is an East Rand city shaped by the Witwatersrand gold rush, with Boksburg Lake offering a visible link to its mining-era growth.
Why go
Gold was found here soon after Johannesburg’s founding, and Main Reef Road connected Boksburg with other mining towns. The lake began as a dam built by mining commissioner Montague White. Together they make a compact way to read the East Rand’s industrial origins.
What to look for
Main Reef Road linked Boksburg to other Witwatersrand mining towns.
Boksburg Lake began as a mining-era dam.
Useful to know
Pair a Boksburg stop with a broader East Rand or Johannesburg mining-history day.
