Dutywa
Dutywa (formerly Idutywa)[2] is a town in Mbashe Local Municipality, Eastern Cape province, South Africa, that was founded in 1858 as a military fort after a dispute between a Natal Colony raiding party and its local people.[3] It is named after the Dutywa River, a tributary of the Mbhashe River.[4] The name means "place of disorder" in the Xhosa language;[5] its spelling was officially changed from "Idutywa" to "Dutywa" on 16 July 2004.[6] The settlement was laid out in 1884 and was made a municipality in 1913.[5] The town is the birthplace of former South African President, Thabo Mbeki.[7]
