Boksburg: the ground, the weather and the yards

Mine dumps and lakes give Boksburg its shape, with suburbs grown up between them and the N12 and R21 cutting through. Families in Vosloorus, Reiger Park and Windmill Park put up nutec rooms and second units to let, while Sunward Park, Parkdene and Beyers Park add wendy houses, garden studios and granny flats behind family homes. Near the airport, Jet Park and Witfield have logistics yards that need site offices, security huts and prefab buildings. Old mine ground near the reef may need a closer look before a slab goes down. Board yards and erectors work out of Boksburg North and Anderbolt. Summer brings fierce hail and lightning to the East Rand, and winter mornings are frosty by the lakes.
