KwaThema is a township south-west of Springs in the district of Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa. It was established in 1951 when Africans were forcibly removed from Payneville because it was considered by the apartheid government to be too close to a white town. The new township's layout was designed along modernist principles and became a model for many subsequent townships, although the envisaged social facilities were not implemented. The typical South African township house, the 51/9, was one of the plans developed for KwaThema. A black local authority with municipal status was established in 1984. In 1985 KwaThema experienced violent unrest and right-wing vigilante activity.

  • KwaThema és un municipi al sud-oest de la ciutat de Springs, al , Gauteng, Sud-àfrica. Es va establir el 1951 quan els africans van ser expulsats per la força de Payneville perquè el govern de l'apartheid considerava que estava massa a prop d'una ciutat blanca. El traçat del nou municipi es va dissenyar seguint principis modernistes i es va convertir en un model per a molts municipis posteriors, tot i que els equipaments socials previstos no es van implementar. La típica casa del municipi sud-africà, la 51/9, va ser un dels plans desenvolupats per KwaThema. L'any 1984 es va establir una autoritat local negra amb estatus municipal. L'any 1985, el municipi va experimentar un malestar violent i una activitat vigilant per part de la dreta. (ca)
