Orange Farm ("Farma") is a township located approximately 45 km (28 mi) from Johannesburg in the Gauteng Province of South Africa.
It is one of the youngest townships in South Africa, with the original inhabitants, laid-off farm workers, taking up residency in 1988.
Orange Farm is a rapidly growing township with great infrastructural developments each year.
However, these improvements come with financial costs, which most of the citizens living in Orange Farm cannot afford.
The ongoing privatization of Orange Farm has also drawn much criticism from social justice and human rights groups as they have pointed out that local small businesses keep dying.
