}}Dutywa (formerly Idutywa)[2] is a town in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, formerly part of the Transkei bantustan. It is the birthplace of Thabo Mbeki, who became President of South Africa in 1999.[3] It is 35 kilometres north of Gcuwa (formerly known as Butterworth) on the N2 road.[4] Dutywa is the seat of the Mbhashe Municipality in the Amatole District.[5]

Dutywa is an inland located town and an economic center to the nearest coastal town Willowvale Gatyane. The economic contributions to this town mostly come from the agriculture, education and the rapidly developing infrastructure. This town recently finished developing a shopping complex in 2017, and has good recreational areas including sporting centers. Da Village is a heritage oriented fun center where prominent artists with the likes of Zahara (South African musician) among others and radio presenters come to mingle and have fun.

History

The town was founded in 1858 as a military fort after a dispute between a Natal Colony raiding party and local people.[6] It is named after the Dutywa River, a tributary of the Mbhashe River.[7] The name means "place of disorder" in the Xhosa language.[6][8] Its spelling was officially changed from "Idutywa" to "Dutywa" on 16 July 2004.[9] The settlement was laid out in 1884 and was made a municipality in 1913.[8]

Origin

Dutywa is a relatively new urban settlement descending from a place now called Old Idutywa.

Xhosa Kingdom

Dutywa is home to the King of AmaXhosa, uKing Mpendulo ka Xolilizwe Sigcawu. Ahh! Zwelonke!. The Xhosa are the second largest cultural group in South Africa, after the Zulu-speaking nation. The Xhosa language (isiXhosa), of which there are variations, is part of the Nguni language group. Xhosa is one of the 11 official languages recognized by the South African Constitution, and in 2006 it was determined that just over 7 million South Africans speak Xhosa as a home language. It is a tonal and phonetic language, governed by the noun - which dominates the sentence. http://www.sahistory.org.za/article/xhosa. King Zwelonke is the most senior leader of the Xhosa royal family, the leader of the Xhosa Royal Council and overall head of the Tshawe royal clan. Most of the Eastern Cape and parts of the Western Cape used to be the sovereign state of the Xhosa kingdom, with the king as its supreme leader. The sovereignty of the Xhosa kingdom was liquidated after the Ninth Frontier War, which was the last war of dispossession fought between the Xhosas and British colonialists and abaXhosa resisted with great resilience against the Britons for over 100 years.

Zwelonke is the first Xhosa king to ascend to the throne after the emancipation of South Africa from colonial and apartheid regimes.

He is the founding member of the Forum of Kings, Sultans, Sheiks, Chiefs and Princes of Africa, which was officially launched in Benghazi, Libya in 2008.
