Reiger Park


Reiger Park is a township situated in Boksburg in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng, South Africa. It was established as Stirtonville after the Second World War when people influxed from rural areas seeking work on the gold mines. In 1963, due to the apartheid government's policy of separate development, the Black people were moved to Vosloorus, the Indians to Actonville and the Coloured people were left to stay in Stirtonville, then renamed Reiger Park.
The locals have given their own unofficial names to the different areas of Reiger Park, such as Jerusalem, Excuse Me, Popcorn Valley, Galeview
The small, Coloured community is also the home town of former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Bernard Parker having been and raised there, as well as Club Brugge KV, left wing Shandre Campbell.
