Mbashe Municipality (under which Dutywa falls)

Mbhashe is predominantly rural, consisting of low-density rural settlements surrounded by communal areas used for agriculture and grazing. There are high levels of unemployment, poverty and dependency, which will increase if employment opportunities are not created for the large youthful population. The local economy is dominated by the community services sector, in terms of both GVA and employment. Mbhashe is the most grant-dependent local economy in the Eastern Cape, and has one of the lowest levels of productivity. In spite of the shortage of skills, however, there has been a growth in formal employment.
