Roshnee is a suburb that is located in Vereeniging, Gauteng, South Africa. The town later expanded when Dadaville was established. It was expanded further after extension 1 was established.

History

The township was established under the Group Areas Act by the Vereeniging Town Council and the apartheid government as a segregated housing development for Indians living in the Vaal Triangle in the late 1960s. ^[1] The adjoining area of Dadaville was created to alleviate housing shortages in Roshnee. ^[2]

The Vereenging Airport FAVV is located east of the town. ^[3]
