As part of the restructuring of municipalities in South Africa the local governments of the East Rand have merged into a single municipality, called the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. Despite having a separate municipal government the East Rand is included in the Greater Johannesburg metropolitan area of Gauteng. The East Rand is an important region in terms of the economics of Gauteng.
The Germiston Lake is situated in the East Rand town of Germiston. The lake is surrounded by a large park and is a favourite venue for weekend picnics and braais. Germiston also is home to the Rand Airport, a general aviation airport that supplements Gauteng's other airports. The town of Springs is to be found in the south-eastern part of the Gauteng East Rand region. Springs was founded in 1904 and owes its origins to the discovery of coal and gold in the region. Just outside of Springs is the Blesbokspruit Wetland Reserve featuring a major wetland system in the East Rand, running through Kempton Park, Boksburg, Brakpan, Springs and Nigel, and on to Heidelberg where it flows into the Suikerbosrand River.
