3About Boshof
Boshof, in the Free State, is best reached via the R64, about 60 km from Kimberley or 150 km from Bloemfontein along the N8 and R64. Locals use the shorter roads to Jacobsdal, Hertzogville, and Dealesville daily, while longer trips from Kimberley or Bloemfontein usually mean visitors passing through. It's maize and sheep farming country on the Free State plateau. EV drivers should charge up in Kimberley or Bloemfontein first, as Boshof itself has little charging infrastructure. Founded in 1866, the town is named after Jacobus Nicolaas Boshoff, former Orange Free State president.
