Brandon-lee Thulsie and Tony-lee Thulsie are accused of conspiring to commit terrorism activities in Johannesburg.
The 23 year old twins face three counts related to terrorism.
The alleged crimes date back to October 2015 and July 2016.
They appeared in court briefly and were remanded in custody. They have not pleaded guilty.
The twin brothers were arrested with two others during a raid in townships near Johannesburg.
It is alleged they had planned to go to Syria to join ISIL, just before their arrest.
South African police say they have confiscated computers and mobile phones during the raids.
