Twee Riviere

Template:Infobox South African subplace 2011 Twee Riviere (accepted spelling) is a town in Cacadu District Municipality in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.

The town is located in the Langkloof - Afrikaans for 'long valley. Twee Riviere - Afrikaans for ‘two rivers’ - takes its name from the Diep and Dwars River which arise in the Tsitsikamma Mountains to the south, flowing through the town. Like so many other rivers in the Langkloof, these modest streams head inland for a considerable distance, before joining larger watercourses and gradually turning coastward.

The village of Twee Riviere is one of the earliest communities in the Langkloof, the original farm having been surveyed and registered under that name already on 14 February 1765. The close, valley geography soon gave rise to a notable concentration of dwellings and households, which in time assumed the beginnings of a village.

Today, around one hundred and twelve families reside in this historic and scenic village, which is in part characterized by a prevalence of homesteading families, many of whom favour a homeschooling education.

While agriculture, and apple production in particular, remains its economic backbone, Twee Riviere is also home to other features of interest, such as the campus of The South African Institute for Conservation and the Skrijwershoek Autumn Arboretum.
