History of Nyoni Park

MMC Khosi Manado and Mayer Mzwandile Masina revel the plaque.
The plaque reads: Nyoni Regional Park was officially opened by the executive mayor of the City of Ekurhuleni Councillor Mzwandile Masina on 20 October 2021.

NRP was operational between the 70s through to the early 90s, when it was closed due to violence and bloodshed that occurred almost on a weekly basis.

The park became a source of pain for the community of Kathorus and was closed by Katlehong Town Council.

Today, NRP brings new life and hope to the Kathorus community, providing recreational activities that ascertain social cohesion. The park serves the community of Kathorus and its tourist.
