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.

Boksburg

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.
