Discover Boksburg through a free personal walk with a local

Discover Boksburg, a city on the East Rand of Gauteng, South Africa, where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Founded in 1887 following the discovery of gold, Boksburg was named in honor of W. Eduard Bok, the State Secretary of the South African Republic. Known for its rich mining history, Boksburg has evolved into a significant gold-producing town on the Witwatersrand, showcasing a blend of cultural heritage and contemporary charm. East Rand Mall is a 69 000 m², regional shopping mall situated a mere 7 km from South Africa’s busiest airport, OR Tambo International Airport. Positioned just off the R 21 on Bentel Avenue,
the Mall forms part of the gateway to the greater Boksburg area.

Thank you, Boksburg Greeters, it is so great to be welcomed like friends, to see a place with the eyes of a local, have a chat in a tiny café and - eventually - leave as a friend.
