Brakpan
Brakpan, on Gauteng's East Rand, is old coal-mining country, its name coming from the brak (brackish) pans that used to dot the veld. The N12 gets you to Joburg or Witbank quick-quick, with the R21 and R29 sorting out the short hops to Boksburg, Benoni and Tsakane. Rand Airport and OR Tambo are both about 23 km out. Charge your EV easy, there are over 10 fast chargers nearby. Don't miss Brakpan Dam, still a favourite for a weekend braai and a line in the water.
