Boipatong

Boipatong is a township near Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, South Africa. It was established in 1955 to house black residents who worked in Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging.

Boipatong means "the place of hiding" in the Sesotho language. Boipaong's expansion is in tandem with the growth of Afrikaner Nationalism and the South African discrimination policy called apartheid.
