Manyu River is not only a safe course for smugglers but it is also a reservoir for some of Mamfe’s waste, which makes the town look deceptively clean. The townsfolk unload their domestic waste at the John Holt Beach at the old German Bridge. The rest of the town’s trash is deposited at Okoyong, a few kilometres along the Mamfe-Bamenda highway. An NGO, MAFACIG, had been rendering technical assistance to the Mamfe Council in rubbish collection and disposal until recently.
