Observation: Though it is perhaps true that this province is the only entity in the world that has the official name "Free State", I don't think it can be said that the SA province is particularly more well-known worldwide than many other "Free State" entities historically ( Irish Free State, Congo Free State, Free State of Saxony, etc.). As such it is probably more appropriate that the Free State be a disamiguation page and the SA province article be named something like Free State, South Africa.

Free State (South African province) – because per
Free state (disambiguation), the term "Free State" is highly ambiguous. As well as the generic concept of
Free state (government), "Free State" is part of the name of 14 former states. Several of those, such as the
Irish Free State, were abbreviated in local common usage simply as the "Free State". The suggested disambiguator is as used for
North West (South African province).

Free State should be redirected to the disambiguation page at
