Winburg - Makeleketla is a small mixed farming town in the Free State province of South Africa.
It is the oldest proclaimed town (1837) in the Orange Free State, South Africa and along with Griquastad, is one of the oldest settlements in South Africa located north of the Orange River.
It is situated where the N1 National Highway (which goes north to Johannesburg and south to Cape Town) meets the N5 National Route (which goes east to Qwa Qwa & Harrismith). The nearest city, Bloemfontein, is 120 km away southwards via the N1.
