Bushbuckridge (also known as Mapulaneng) is a town in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, Ehlanzeni District, Mpumalanga, South Africa.[1] The town grew around a trading store that opened in 1884. It is named after the large herds of bushbuck found here in the 1880s, and the prominent ridge in the southeastern part of the municipality.[2]
