Petrus Steyn is a small farming town between Tweeling and Kroonstad, 35 km north-east of Lindley in the Free State province of South Africa.

It is at the centre of an agricultural area known for wheat, maize, sunflower, potato, cattle, hunting, sheep production and forms part of the breadbasket[2] in the Free State.

In 2012, the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) decided to rename the town of Petrus Steyn to Mamafubedu.

[11] Here, ox wagon belonging to Sarel Cilliers left its tracks as well as footprints by participants are preserved on a concrete slab.

[13] The family grave yard of Petrus Steyn was laid out in 1898 under the oak tree and the area is now part of the Rhino Heritage Park.

Elandskop Hill is located north of the town and during the Second Anglo-Boer War 1899–1902[19] was an excellent observation post for the Boer and British.

For the Boer forces it was a particularly important heliograph station, especially because the headquarters of General Christiaan de Wet and also the Orange Free State Government were located there for a long time near the present-day town.
