Lenasia

Lenasia sits on the Highveld in Gauteng, South Africa, where Johannesburg’s southern urban fringe meets the open plateau of the interior. Developed in the 1950s as a segregated township for Indian South Africans under apartheid, it remains one of the country’s most important Indian South African communities. Its streets support a lively local economy of family-run shops, restaurants and specialist food stores, while mosques and Hindu temples reflect longstanding religious traditions. Lenasia is part of the wider Johannesburg metropolitan area, yet its commercial centre and community institutions give it a distinct identity within the city.
