The name comes from the word: 'Potscherf'- (meaning broken pot). This was due to the cracks that appear in the soil of the Mooi River Valley during a drought.
Boskop Dam and Nature Reserve is located in the Mooi River Valley 20 km North of the Town of Potchefstroom a short distance from the R501 Carletonville Road and 30 km from the N14 Ventersdorp/Krugersdorp Road on the Rysmierbult turnoff.

Apartheid in South Africa is a political system of segregation that perpetuated unequal relationships between Europeans and their descendants and local people of color. This system of segregation placed an inhumane burden on African, Indian, and Couloured people of South Africa. The government placed heavy restrictions intruding on every aspect of private life for these persecuted citizens. Specialized passes, restricted living areas, and daily police harassment were just the least of what an average black citizen faced.
