The Bushbuckridge Residents Association is a minor South African political party formed by disgruntled African National Congress members.
It aims to serve the residents of the Bushbuckridge region in Mpumalanga.
The party won its first seats at local government level in the 2011 Municipal Elections, and after the 2011 Municipal Elections holds seats in the Bushbuckridge and Bela-Bela Local Mnicipalities.
The party also won one seat in the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature in the 2014 General Election.
In February 2017, the party's president, Delta Mokoena, began a 10-year prison sentence for vigilantism. He was convicted in 2013 of threatening to burn a resident and his house if the man, whom he accused of having a thief as a son, did not leave the area.
The party has been accused of 'causing a reign of terror', making use of kangaroo courts, torturing suspected criminals, and banishing residents it accused of being witches or Satanists.
