Ndabakazi is a village situated along the N2 National Route in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, approximately 11 km west of Gcuwa (formerly known as Butterworth).

Ndabakazi is famous for the major Ndabakazi Intermodal Interchange, a transport hub (junction) on the N2 National Route between Butterworth (officially renamed Gcuwa) and East London.

The interchange links the R409 Regional Route with the N2 national highway. This junction was notorious and the scene of numerous fatal accidents over the years. However, in February 2023, the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) began the process of upgrading it with a new design to make it a much safer junction between the two roads.

The upgrade was completed inAugust of 2025, costing R352 million. The Ndabakazi Intermodal Interchange was officially opened in November 2025.
