Vosloorus is a township situated just east of Katlehong on the East Rand, Gauteng, South Africa. It was established in 1963 when Africans were removed from Stirtonville because it was considered by the apartheid government too close to a white town. A local authority was established in 1983 when Vosloorus was given full municipal status. During the 1980s Vosloorus was the only local authority in the region in which elections were run by ethnic groups. There were no geographic wards but each ethnic group in the township elected a councillor.
