About Alexandra
Affectionately known as “Gomorrah” among local residents, Alexandra is a historic township in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Established in 1912, this vibrant community has a rich history. Originally intended as a white residential township, it became a “native township” due to its distance from the center of Johannesburg.
