Orange Farm:
suburb in the south of Johannesburg is located 45 km south of Johannesburg , Gauteng , South Africa.

It is one of the youngest townships in South Africa, with the original inhabitants; originally a farming rural community with mainly farm workers. It was turned into a township after the SA 1994 democratic general elections. Support for the population came slowly mostly from people who were tenants at the great township of Soweto.

The Orange Farm Water Crisis Committee, an offshoot of the South African Anti-Privatization Forum (AFP), has been very vocal and active against the privatization of water.

Approximately 85% of the population works in Johannesburg. Most of the people use train to get to work. 35% of the residents are unemployed and the stats rise each year as the matriculates join them.

Infrastructure:
Orange Farm is a rapidly growing township with great infrastructural developments each year. The township has a large main clinic (Stretford Clinic) and several minor clinics. The township's main roads are tarred and several minor streets may be tarred but in questionable condition. Orange Farm has a small official library, permanent housing for many residents ( mainly government housing) . There are only a few areas without electricity (Including the Squatter camp in Drieziek 5). The town has a large multi-purpose community center.

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. This can also be linked to the rising number of foreign owned shops in the area. A lot has been done to improve Orange farm, it also now has more than two parks and a two floor mall (Eyethu Orange Farm mall ). However, nearly all areas still need improvement.

Orange Farm Mall is located in Orange Farm Ext 2, 1 km from Eyethu Orange Farm Mall. This park sits where there used to be a soccer/football pitch of Ext 2 (Liver Pool Grounds).
