Rosendal is a very small rural town in the Eastern Free State on the R70-road between Senekal and Ficksburg. This road is the main road between Gauteng and Lesotho, as well as the road between the goldfields of the Free State and Lesotho. The border post outside Ficksburg is the busiest border post in South Africa. The R70-road geographically separates the town Rosendal and the township Mautse. The Mautsendal (emphasizing the fact that the communities of Rosendal and Mautse are inseparably linked to one another) Cultural Village has been built next to this road.
