Great economic spin-offs for Tweni

Great lengths were taken to make sure Tweni was ready for the Tweni 2's surfing event.

It was a wonderful collaborative effort to get the leafy suburb of Umtentweni ready to host the annual surfing and music event, Tweni 2’s.

Tweni resident, Mike Davies said that in preparation for last Saturday’s surfing event at The Spot Backpackers in Tweni, Ray Nkonyeni Municipality repaired the potholes on the northern section of Ambleside Road.

“Tweni Tidy Towns cut all the bush in the area, now you can see all the way from the north of Commercial Road to the north of Ambleside Road, and residents also came out with rakes to help clean up the debris on Tweni beach.”

The exciting news is that Tweni 2’s is on the surfing map, as one of the premier competitions in the country, and all money raised goes back into the community.

Davies added that some 400 people attended the Northside Wine Festival (mostly based in Tweni) on the same day.

“Both events took a lot of organising and brought economic benefits to the area. Tweni is a great place to live,” he said.
