| Notice : | Upslope from the Lyceum 'Clarté de Notre-Dame' à Mutanga, a deep lavaka-like gully is developed more or less perpendicular to the slope. The gully has been deepened considerably during the last 50 years as a result of increasing peaks. The unusual location of the gully does rise the question whether a first ditch has not been digged around the lyceum ground in order to protect it against runoff from upslope. |
