Orange Farm is a settlement 60km south of Johannesburg, it is the most isolated and least integrated region of Johannesburg. With a growing population, 40% are younger than 18, 50% have no income and approximately 62% earn less than R1500 a month, indicating that the majority live below the breadline. Johannesburg, South Africa. 18/01/2004.

There is little to do recreationally, pleasures are few and crime (including rape) and substance abuse levels are high. Such an environment provides fertile ground for the spread of HIV.
