Lenasia is situated in the Southern region of the Gauteng province in South Africa approximately 35 kilometers south of the Johannesburg central business district and 45 kilometers South of the Sandton central business district.

Apartheid-era planners situated the group area for Johannesburg's Indians near the Lenz military base. The name "Lenasia" is thought to be a combination of the words "Lenz", "Lens" and "Asia". The Lenz in question was one Captain Lenz who owned the original plot on which Lenasia is situated. Many of its early residents were forceably removed under the Group Areas Act from Feitas, a vibrant non-racial area close to the Johannesburg city centre, to Lenasia. As segregation grew it became the largest place where people of Indian extraction could legally live in the then old Transvaal province

With the advent of the new Trade Route Mall, Lenasia continues to expand. Lenasia is one of the few Indian areas to be wholly supportive of the African National Congress and many Indian struggle stalwarts are now living in Lenasia. The community of Lenasia played a prominent role in opposing the national tri-cameral elections held in 1984 and 1989 under the apartheid era National Party government.

Lenasia is now a rapid growing suburb with everything a city needs from shopping malls, churches, mandhirs, mousqes, banks and various commercial and industrial sectors. Three satellite radio stations, Radio Islam, Eastwave FM and Channel Islam International broadcast from Lenasia. The growing population of Lenasia has lead to property in Lenasia soaring to exorbitant prices

Although still a predominantly Indian area, Lenasia today is a more cosmopolitan and diverse suburb, providing a place to live for local coloured and African people, as well as recent immigrants and refugees.
