| BENONI,
EAST RAND - JOHANNESBURG, GAUTENG, SOUTH AFRICA TRAVEL GUIDE |
|
 Benoni
is very diverse, with people of every colour and denomination. There are
over ten schools in Benoni and in some areas there is a concentration of
up to 6000 students within a 5km radius.
Over
time gold mining has decreased in importance. Today the town is focused
more on industry and services, rather than mining, and is used as a service
hub for other East Rand towns such as Brakpan, Nigel and Springs. Benoni
is also the site of the Benoni Heliport, for the use of helicopters.
Visitors
to the town may visit the local museum, the many lakes, the Lakeside Shopping
Mall (built in the shape of a Mississippi Steamboat on one of the lakes)
or Northmead Square (known as the first shopping centre to bring cinemas
back to Benoni) located in the suburbs. |

Prince’s Avenue.

BOKSBURG,
EAST RAND ACCOMMODATION, GAUTENG, SOUTH AFRICA
|
|
| Boksburg
is a city on the East Rand of Gauteng, South Africa. Gold was discovered
in Boksburg in 1887. It was named after the State Secretary of the South
African Republic, W. Eduard Bok. The Main Reef Road linked Boksburg to
all the other major mining towns on the Witwatersrand and the Angelo Hotel
(1887) was used as a staging post.
The Mining Commissioner Montague
White built a large dam which, empty for years, was dubbed White's Folly
until a flashflood in 1889 silenced detractors. The 150,000 square metre
dam is now the Boksburg Lake, and is surrounded by lawns, trees, and terraces.
A railway was built to link Boksburg to Johannesburg in 1890. Boksburg
is now part of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, that includes
much of the East Rand. |
