Boksburg - Driving on Commisioner Street - Johannesburg, South Africa

I took a drive in Boksburg along the busy Commissioner Street. Boksburg is a city based in the East Rand what is known as Ekhuruleni in Johannesburg. According to what I have seen online the town has quite a strong Afrikaans speaking influence and history. The area has a rich history and today is a multicultial area whith many shops, some apartment complexes, the area also has a strong gold mining and industrial sector. The area also has the Tambo Memorial hospital which was previously known as the Boksburg Benoni Hospital and is an important hopsital for the East Rand. Some parts of Boksburg have become a little bit rundown looking, like Boksburg North but I didn't record there this time.
