Bushbuckridge
Bushbuckridge (Mapulaneng) is the main town in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, Ehlanzeni District, Mpumalanga, South Africa.[1] The name Bushbuck Ridge was given because of the large herds of bushbuck found here in the 1880s, and the prominent WNW-ESE ridge in the southeastern part of the municipality.[2] The town of Bushbuckridge grew around a trading store that opened in 1884.
