Overview
3About Gcuwa / Butterworth
Gcuwa, or Butterworth, lies on the N2 between East London and Mthatha, making it an easy stop for travellers cutting through the Eastern Cape. Daily runs to Dutywa, Nqamakwe, Komga and Willowvale keep locals busy, while longer trips from Queenstown, Mthatha and Alice bring in visitors from further afield. EV chargers are thin on the ground here, so plan your stops. Fun fact: the town's Wilson-Rowntree sweet factory made it a major apartheid-era industrial growth point in the old Transkei.
