Erasmia is a suburb in the northern outskirts of Centurion in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. Originally a whites-only area under apartheid, increasing numbers of Indians from neighbouring Laudium moved in, following the abolition of segregation in the early 1990s, and the construction of a direct link road between the two areas. Erasmia lies west of the R55 route. In 2001, 65.72% of the population was Indian, [2] and by 2011, Indians made up 77.03% of the population. [1] The area called Christoburg is for census [1] and other purposes usually treated as part of Erasmia.

History

It became a suburb on 4 September 1946 and was named after WFE Erasmus. [3] It was created out of the farms Mooiplaas No. 69 and Zwartkop No. 476. [3]
