Katlehong is a large township in the Gauteng Province of South Africa. It is 28 km south-east of Johannesburg and south of Germiston between two other townships of Thokoza and Vosloorus next to the N3 highway. It forms part of the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. ==History== In the early 1990s just before 1994 elections, Katlehong was one of the townships that experience political tensions between members of the African National Congress (ANC) and Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP).
Katlehong, together with the adjacent township of Thokoza, was established on the site where the Palmietfontein Airport, which was the airport that was temporarily serving Johannesburg whilst the new Jan Smuts International Airport was being built, was located.
