Bush Bucks is a South African soccer club. The club was founded in 1957 and originally based in Mthatha in the Eastern Cape. In 2001, the team moved to East London. It was nicknamed Imbabala (The Bucks).
History
The club was formed by a former official of the Bush Bucks club from Durban who had moved to the area. It was named Umtata Bush Bucks. They moved to East London (outside of the former homeland of Transkei) in 2001, until suffering relegation at the end of the 2002/03 season. They returned after only one season, but were relegated again at the end of 2005/06 season.
In 2007 Sturu Pasiya became the sole owner when he purchased a license to participate in the SAFA Second Division from Lion City FC. In 2019, Pasiya was sentenced to five years imprisonment for tax offences.[1]
The club relocated to Mthatha prior to the start of the 2022–23 season.[2]
The club plays in the SAFA Second Division Eastern Cape division.
