Bushbuckridge Municipality

Bushbuckridge Local Municipality is a presidential nodal point located in the south- eastern part of Limpopo Province and northeastern part of Mpumalanga Province. The municipality is one of the two constituents of the former Bohlabela District Municipality (Within Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality) further north, Fetakgomo Local Municipality in the west. The Municipal area provides a link to Lydenburg and other centres in the lowveld, particularly Hoedspruit, Pilgrim Rest and Graskop. Bushbuckridge Local Municipality can therefore be called the gateway to the major tourism attraction points in Mpumalanga and the eastern part of the Limpopo Province.

The Municipality covers 198,000 ha of land area, of which 1970 ha are agricultural land, 1860 ha residential area and water bodies. Bushbuckridge Local Municipality consists of 135 settlements and is divided into 34 wards.
