Leratswana is a small township in the Free State province of South Africa, adjacent to Arlington.

Arlington was established as an important railway link between Lindley and Senekal.

Leratswana (like all Free State towns) features a racial segregated geography due to the policies of Apartheid.

This can be seen by the fact that the white population live in the town of Arlington, while the non-white (almost exclusively black) community lives in the neighboring township of Leratswana, which is currently being greatly extended.

Leratswana has by far a greater population than Arlington, and therefore if the two were part of a single town, it would have a black majority.
