The map
Tokoza, often spelled Thokoza, is a township in the Ekurhuleni metropolitan area of Gauteng, south-east of Johannesburg and next to Katlehong and Alberton. From above, it is a dense grid of small plots and narrow streets. Row after row of houses fill the area almost completely.
The township's layout reflects its origins under apartheid planning: residential sections separated by main roads, open buffer strips and large hostel complexes. Later informal settlements and newer housing filled some of the gaps. Their patterns are denser and less regular than the original grid.
Tokoza was one of the areas hit hardest by political violence in the early 1990s, and a memorial in the township remembers those who died. A Tokoza map poster shows the streets of a community with a long and difficult history and a strong identity.
Small plots and narrow streets are packed closely together. The result is a very fine, even texture across most of the township.
Large hostel blocks stand out as distinct geometric shapes within the grid, a visible trace of the township's planned origins.
Tokoza sits against Katlehong and the suburbs of Alberton, so the map shows how the township fits into the wider East Rand.

Why Tokoza
Tokoza is home to many people who know every street and corner, and whose families' stories are tied to the place. A map of it is personal: it names a community that most printed maps leave out.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with a section name or a family date, and choose from five styles, from Classic black & white to Noir or Sand.
