Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

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.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Reigerpark is 'n voormalige bruin woonbuurt in Boksburg in die Ekurhuleni Metropolitaanse Munisipaliteit, Gauteng, Suid-Afrika. Dit is gestig as Stirtonville ná die Tweede Wêreldoorlog toe mense ingestroom het uit landelike gebiede op soek na werk in die goudmyne. In 1963, as gevolg van die beleid van afsonderlike ontwikkeling, het die apartheidsregering die swart mense verskuif na Vosloorus, die Indiërs na Actonville en die bruin mense het oorgebly in Stirtonville, later herdoop tot Reigerpark.
