Boksburg is a beautiful city located on the East Rand of Gauteng in South Africa. This city was built to protect the surrounding gold mines and it was named after the State Secretary of the South African Republic, Eduard Bok.

Visitors will also enjoy a visit to the Wild Waters, which is a water park with various water slides and other activities.
