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 SA 1994 democratic general elections. Support for the population came slowly mostly from people who were tenants at the great township of Soweto.[2]

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