I-Gcuwa, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-Butterworth, yidolophu ekwiPhondo iMpuma Koloni, eMzantsi Afrika. IGcuwa inabemi abangama-45,900 kwaye ikuhola wendlela u-N2 kumgama oli-111 km kumantla kaKuGompo.[2] 

Iindawo ezazijikeleze iGcuwa zazihlala amaXhosa kwakunye namaQhakancu

IGcuwa yaqala yasekwa njengesikhululo semishini iWesleyan ngomnyaka-1827 emantla komlambo iNciba phantsi kolawulo lamabhulu. IGcuwa yayeyathiywa ngegama likaJoseph Butterworth. [3] Isikhululo semishini kunye nendawo yokuhlala yabamhlophe iButterworth yatshiswa izihlandlo ezintathu kwimfazwe eyayiphakathi kwamaXhosa kunye namaBhulu. Nangona kunjalo, yenye yendawo zokuqala ezazihlala abantu abamhlophe ezindala eMpuma Koloni. Xa amaBhulu athimba isiqithi eNtshona Koloni, uninzi lwamaBhulu lwanyukela emantla apho lwafika lwaseke urhulumento lwazo. Ukufunyanwa kweedayimani ngomnyaka ka-1867 kunye negolide ngomnyaka ka-1886 eMzantsi Afrika kwakhuthaza ubutyebi kunye nofuduko kwamanye amazwe kwaye kwaqinisa ukuthotyelwa kwabemi bomgquba. Idolophu yayikufutshane nesihlalo sikaHintsa kaKhawuta, uKumkani wamaXhosa . Yayibaluleke kakhulu kwiqhinga.
